Project

The project consists of the documentation and writing of an academic article that deals with the definition of a new economic mainstream, based on collaborative, social, green / circular and digital visions of the economy from both theoretical contributions from various sources and the proliferation of diverse experiences of local economic development in our environment and elsewhere. Precisely, the corollary pretends that this new mainstream must be constructed fundamentally from the local economies.
