Economic Growth for All and Not Just a Few
Paving the Way to Inclusive Growth for Communities and Regions
These diverse communities spontaneously organized by citizens in Seoul have presented new models of creating jobs and solving social problems, and many earn enough proceeds to sustain their endeav- ors. Contrary to the market economy that values profit above all else, these communities continue their economic activities precisely by putting humans first, and by providing viable solutions to the problems engendered by capitalism, including inequality, ecological degradation, and the deteriorating quality of life. Our hope is to see the social economy in Seoul growing further and becoming a venue of sharing and solidarity for 99 percent of citizens. Salt makes up only four percent of the oceans, yet it makes all the oceans taste salty. The social economy should serve as the light and salt of to- day’s world, inspiring the restoration of order and fairness to the market. — Introduction
