L’EMERGENCE D’UNE ECONOMIE SOLIDAIRE AU MAROC : LE CAS DES CHIFFONNIERS DE LA VILLE D’AIT MELLOUL

Abstract

Associations have no claim to solve alone the contemporary problems of injustice and environment damage. We admit however that the reinforcement of the democracy and the humanization of the economy suppose to take into account the associative action, that is to say any project constituted starting from the collective actions implemented by free and equal citizens and referring to a common good. In this contribution we sought to know to what extent and under what conditions there is possibility of emergence of a solidarity economy in the activity of collection and sorting of waste by ragpickers from the town of Ait Melloul to South of Morocco in place of an individualism hitherto predominant in the exercise of this trade.
