Social and united economy: for an exit from crisis by the top

It is a question in fine of favouring a more lasting and more united economy.

• Set up plans of development of united courses of study on sectors of general interest and of responsible consumption;
• Take up poles of social innovation to make appear and display efficient answers to the social needs not much or badly satisfied;
• Condition regional aid to firms in social and ecological criteria and introduce a significant level of social and environmental clauses into public works contracts.
