Solidarity economy can also be seen as a strategy that is complementary to social economy
and located at the intersection of all three economic systems (LEWIS, 2007). Similar to
Pearce’s various instances of social economy shown in Figure 1, one can distinguish several
organizational forms subscribed to solidarity economy, for example consumption and production
cooperatives, credit cooperatives, fair trade initiatives, or Local Exchange Trading Systems (LETS).
Through such organisational forms solidarity economy seeks to generate profound changes in
values all throughout the three systems
