Placing the Social Economy (Contemporary Politicaleconomy, 7)

2002 · Book · Ash Amin

“In its current usage the term social economy refers to not-for-profit activity geared towards meeting social needs: The 'Social Economy constitutes a broad range of activities which have the potential to provide opportunities for local people and communities to engage in all stages of the process of local economic regeneration and job creation, from the identification of basic needs to the operationalisation of initiatives.”

Placing the Social Economy analyses policy and offers opinion on the future potential of the so-called Third Way, an initiative that is supposed to fulfill the role that a welfare state would normally undertake. by Ash Amin
