Once I figure out what to do with "decant," the final chapter of #SolidarityEconomyRoads is done.

"The only possible guarantee of the organic relation between leaders and led is the existence of a culture that is relatively homogeneous across the sectors, in which the highest and most elaborated cultural expressions are expressions of popular culture, decanted, refined, and coherent, and where those expressions permeate society raising the people to ever higher levels of culture and education."

Just finished translating the final chapter of @luisrazeto's #SolidarityEconomyRoads.

"Razeto turns [here] to the economic, political, and cultural crisis of contemporary civilization... The analysis is rooted in Latin-American history and informed by Razeto’s study of ... Gramsci which began in his years of exile after the 1973 coup, and has particular relevance today in the context of the climate crisis, ... and crises of governability in country after country."

Coming to #GEO next month

Chapter 11 of #SolidarityEconomyRoads finished, on to the 12th and final chapter: Towards a Civilization of Labor and Solidarity.

Good timing, given the wave of protests sweeping the continent.

@luisrazeto

Just finished first a very rough draft translation of Chapter 11 The Road of the Spirit.

"Certainly, not everyone is swept away by the tide of materialism and consumerism. There are people, communities, churches, institutions that keep alive the spiritual dimensions of humans and society, that promote communitarian spirit and solidarity and develop experiences that transcend individualism and the sole pursuit of material well being."

Sometimes translating is like detective work or solving a crossword.

Just finished the final draft of Chapter 10 of #SolidarityEconomyRoads, The Road of the Ancient Peoples which explores the elements of indigenous culture and economic practices which converge into and harmonize with solidarity economy.

Just sent in the next chapter of #SolidarityEconomyRoads -- Chapter 9, the Road of Women and the Family. Hoping it sparks discussion.

"the possibility of a simultaneous process of recuperation of personality and community arises from the reality of the family in crisis and the position of women; a process that in various ways leads to the perspective of solidarity economy"

Finished a first draft of the English version of "Chapter 9 - The Road of Women and the Family." Roughest first draft yet, lots to change, interesting chapter -- not what I expected. Big old Hegel quote -- didn't see that coming. Should be interesting to people familiar with extra-economic activity in household and informal sectors.

#SolidarityEconomyRoads @luisrazeto

Submitted the latest chapter of #SolidarityEconomyRoads -- Chapter 8, the Road of Ecology for @geosocialcoop

"the problem has acquired such broad dimensions and is so tightly bound up with cultural and economic dynamics that it can not be solved through any combination of public measures that are economically and politically viable in the framework of the existing structures and organization of the economy."

Of course, there are dystopian "solutions"...

@luisrazeto
#SolidarityEconomyRoads

Nearly done with Chapter 8 of #SolidarityEconomyRoads, the Road of Ecology.

"...the positive or negative character of the transformation of the environment depends fundamentally on the economy and its mode of action and organization. If we understand this, we can locate the question of the ecology in its true dimension: as a problem of the economy. Placed on this plane... the possibility of truly addressing the problem is opened."

Latest chapter of #SolidarityEconomyRoads submitted to our fearless GEO webcomrade @GuerillaOntologist

This one is a "bottom-up" analysis of participation and self-management with implications for any organization, but especially co-ops.

Thanks to my supporters @emi and @LeoSammallahti !!

Draft 1 of Chapter 4 of #SolidarityEconomyRoads is done. Now to translate my English into English...

"...solidarity economy implies, in addition to the development of a sector of economic activities... characterized by solidarity, a process through which greater solidarity is incorporated into the...economy... It is in this sense that starting from work as it currently exists in the dominant capitalist economy, that is, ...dependent wage labor, a third path to solidarity economy opens up."

Hi friends, I have been hesitant to post this, but it seems important if only as a step in the development of mutual support networks for writing and translating. I am translating #LuisRazeto 's book #SolidarityEconomyRoads and have an account on LiberaPay where I am seeking financial support for my work. Chapter 3 is ready to be published and I am working on Chapter 4 now, about labor and work.
