ZEGAD, María Teresa. THE POPULAR ECONOMY: CIVIL SOCIETY PRIVATIZED IN THE GLOBAL ERA. Punto Cero [online]. 2014, vol.19, n.29, pp.69-76. ISSN 1815-0276.

The phenomenon of the ‘popular economy’, allows the analysis of the characteristics that take the relationship State, market and civil society in a particular sector, historically anchored in our societies, which expanded rapidly in recent decades encouraged by globalization processes. The development of this sector leads to a trilemma (unsolved) among these three areas, because even though configures and reproduces in the market and is supported in a civil society strongly structured, it dispenses with the State; Moreover, it has generated and stays ‘aside’ from the State. In reality the existence and expansion of this social sector - increasingly broad and with greater economic power - is precisely the successful articulation of their previous social conditions, with the market. This sector has been the phenomenon called non-hegemonic globalization, or globalization from below, and one of its characteristics is that it intends not to question or destroy capitalism, but is rather functional to the reproduction of the capital, because he lives it, feed and grow through it, participates in the market in a dynamic way although it is not part of the hegemonic circuits.
