The essay underlines the new questions expressed by associations and cooperatives in some of their current reconfigurations, with a specific attention to the new frontiers in the relationship between economy and politics. In its first part, the essay reflects on the characteristics of popular economy, of proximity services (household and community services), etc.; the second part is focussed on the process of the legitimation of solidarity-based economy.
