A new social and economic common sense seems to be emerging pointing to post-capitalistic and post-developmentalist futures paradigms in non-utopian terms, that is, by translating these visions into concrete political agendas. Grassroots organizations and citizens’ initiatives have been launching social experiments that aim to build alternatives to capitalist infinite accumulation and environmental degradation. They cover such diverse fields as cooperatives, fair trade, barter economy, time-sharing and exchange, solidaristic economy, degrouwth economy, social currencies, reciprocal investment and lend networks, social markets, care economies.

The trend need a broader scope and international outlook, multiple opportunities for social experimentation in order to become a central factor to overcome the present absence of equity, human dignity and social justice.
Below, some contributions to expand the discussion.
