Social and solidary economy and state policies El Fondo de Financiamiento Solidario como modelo alternativo de crédito (San Martí­n, Argentina -2016-2018-)

Abstract

This article addresses the Solidary Financing Fund (FFS, "productive" component) of the Municipality of San Martí­n (Province of Buenos Aires). Specifically, it is proposed: a) to analyze the explicit and implicit associative modalities in the FFS, and b) to describe the forms of state intervention linked to financing and training. The research is developed from a methodological triangulation approach that uses primary and secondary sources of information. In the context of incetive to associativism from this Municipality, it is possible to rethink the tensions that the local officials in Argentina experience in the neoliberal reemergence, an aspect that invites to consider the distances between the designs of tools linked with ESS approaches and the effective possibilities of positioning these approaches in a context of economic retraction and regressive redistribution of income.
