L'économie alternative n'est pas une théorie économique, c'est un mouvement de la société civile qui revendique une autre façon de faire de l'économie. [...] L'économie alternative se définit par différence avec l'économie qu'on appelle «classique», pour revendiquer une autre voie. [...] L'économie alternative se distingue de l'économie sociale parce qu'elle ne considère pas le statut juridique comme une garantie suffisante de démocratie, d'autant plus que la plupart des formes de mutualisation, de coopération, d'association sont tournées vers le service à leurs membres, un comportement assez éloigné de la vision sociétale des alternatifs. 2, record 1, French, - %C3%A9conomie%20alternative
