With reference to the categories which have been used up to this period, "other-economy" refers to an emergent and heterogeneous system of activities directed to economic and social change. The essay focuses on some of the characteristics of these activities, starting with a definition of alternative economy, as a group of economic activities - which produce goods for the market or services connected to the action of the state - and of social activities aiming at improving the well being of citizens, social solidarity and environmental sustainability.
