Book excerpt: Solidarity economics introduces a new economic outlook that emphasises the role of the human being, ethics and the environment. Since 2009, Ecuador has formally introduced this new concept in the economic policies of the country’s Citizens’ Revolution project. This collection of papers, selected from the 3rd International Congress on Economics, illustrates the pragmatic approach of researchers in Ecuador, and provides answers to the main local problems: corruption, environment, access to new technologies, poverty, income distribution, migration, and labour relations.
