As the article \u201cThe process of confluence of the Barcelona 2020 WSF of Transformative Economies begins<\/a>\u201d explains, the Barcelona WSF will be focused on\u00a0transformative economies.<\/p>\n

But what do we mean by “transformative economies”? If we want to answer from the SSE perspective, a quick look at socioeco.org is in order. A simple search in the search engine indicates that we can find about 700 documents that use the word “transformation” in different languages. To refine the search, we can use the keyword: New paradigm of transformation,<\/a> which groups together those of interest to us and which we present here, used in the sense of social and political change. In the words of Ruben Suri\u00f1ac, in his book Economias transformadoras de Barcelona,<\/a> “the movements and phenomena of the transforming economy are all proposals for socio-economic reorganization that introduce a critique of the dominant economic model and formulate proposals for socio-economic change (both in theory and in practice) that, to varying degrees, attempt to transform this model or, at least, to prevent or mitigate its negative effects<\/em>“. For Barcelona, he cites the movements of degrowth, the economy of the common good, the commons, the feminist and care economy, the social economy, the SSE. And the phenomena of the collaborative economy, community, responsible consumption, the circular economy, social entrepreneurship, social innovation and societal responsibility.<\/p>\n
