The opening of the market to imports and the outbreak of the process of deindustrialization in Brazil unleashed the crises of the 1980s and 1990s, marked by high unemployment. In response to the socioeconomic vulnerabilities generated by peripheral capitalism, the Solidarity Economy erupts in Brazil. Thus, based on bibliographical research, the present study proposes to discuss how Brazil's position in world capitalism allowed the rise of emerging economic activities. Among the main considerations of the study, it is mentioned that the insertion of Brazil in the periphery of capitalism made possible the emergence of forms of economic doing that enable new modes of labor relations. Emerging activities, with principles such as solidarity, self-management and cooperation, favor the insertion of a portion of the population in the labor market, and it is an instrument of social inclusion for individuals who until then were deprived of minimum subsistence conditions.
