Solidarism or Distributism? On Domestic Concept of the Solidary Economy
DOI: 10.33917/es-1.193.2024.76-81
Recently, the concept of society, which, according to the characteristics of its authors, is an alternative to both socialism and capitalism, has become quite actively discussed in Russia. Some of them do not consider it shameful to use the concept of “solidarism” to describe it, while others, on the contrary, actively distance themselves off it, preferring to call their doctrine a solidary society and economy.
No matter how surprising it may seem at first glance, the set of views expressed by modern domestic solidarists had foreign predecessors and modern supporters in the person of the so-called distributists.
