While TNCs [transnational corporations] seek to maximize their accumulated profits, there are economic activities such as cooperatives, mutualities, NGOs, and NPOs. Solidarity-based economic activities must take into account the protection of environment and human rights, as well as unpaid labor by women. We also find this in the field of micro-credits and social money projects. 5, record 1, English, - social%20money

Les monnaies sociales, parfois appelées monnaies complémentaires, sont issues de l'accord entre les membres d'une communauté d'avoir recours à une forme d'échange autre que celles facilitées par la devise nationale conventionnelle. Cette monnaie ne remplace pas la devise nationale, mais la complète en promouvant particulièrement les échanges de biens et services au niveau local. 3, record 1, French, - monnaie%20sociale

L'expression «monnaies sociales» désigne un ensemble de dispositifs d'échanges de biens, de services ou de savoirs organisés par et pour de petites communautés au moyen d'une organisation monétaire ad hoc. La communauté prend la forme d'une association de personnes, officialisée ou informelle. L'organisation monétaire prend soit la forme de comptes ouverts aux adhérents [...], soit de monnaies papier circulant entre adhérents et parfois au-delà du cercle des adhérents. 4, record 1, French, - monnaie%20sociale
