Alternativas al capitalismo en Uruguay

What if there were a different way to access decent employment and housing? Without bank loans or business closures due to lack of profit. In this episode, we interview Dr. Anabel Rieiro, who has researched social and solidarity economy cases in Uruguay for more than 20 years. Anabel explains how housing cooperatives work, tells the history of cooperativism in the country, and their impact on society. We also discuss practical examples of solidarity economy, including worker-restored businesses and soup kitchens during the COVID-19 crisis. From the importance of economic alternatives to the challenges of governing as a community.
