Del crecimiento al desarrollo social: una crítica desde la Economía Social Solidaria y la Economía de la Dona

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: This article critically analyzes the limitations of the economic paradigm centered on continuous growth through a dialogue between Social and Solidarity Economics (SSE) and Doughnut Economics (DE). It argues that the association between well-being and GDP growth has resulted in inequality, precarious working conditions and environmental deterioration in Latin America. In response, the article proposes that the convergence of these two approaches enables a rethinking of development in terms of social justice, ecological sustainability and collective well-being. The main finding is that the combination of SSE and DE creates a complementary theoretical framework that redefines development as the expanded reproduction of life, integrating ecological limits and social relations that promote care, reciprocity and sustainability.
