DEL CASTILLO SANCHEZ, Luis. Understanding the Social and Solidarity Economy, and its Application to Local Projects in Cuba. Econ. y Desarrollo [online]. 2017, vol.158, n.1, pp. 78-90. ISSN 0252-8584.

Such effects of neoliberal policies as poverty and social exclusion are major reasons why the Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) has emerged in Latin American countries as a first move toward a new model, according to which society mobilizes, makes available, allocates, and generates resources and capacities to produce, market, and consume goods and services, with needs being met and solidarity having priority over competition, and labor over capital. SSE is considered to be an alternative in view of mistakes in building socialism, which caused the so-called "real socialism" to fail. This is a reason why SSE is also considered to be suitable for Cuba and therefore it is suggested to be included in the Cuban economic and social model as another form of ownership. Consequently, state ownership of the means of production must be considered as a form of social ownership and communal or community ownership must be included as another form thereof, with the Social and Solidarity Economy's potential for local development in Cuba being recognized.
