"Capitalism is not the only form of economy. Alternative economies—people's

economies—exist in which human needs and relationships are more important

than competition and profit.

Forms of solidarity economy built on the principles and values of cooperation,

equality, self-determination and democracy, exist and are taking shape in many

parts of the world. These forms include household economies, barter economies,

collective economies including cooperatives, worker-controlled economies,

subsistence market economies, community budgeting, participatory budgeting,

community-based local currency exchange systems, and ethical trading, among

others. Labor organizations have also provided spaces for building capacities in

the struggle to defy capitalism."
