Village banking development model: FINCA Costa Rica

The village banking institution, Fundacion Integral Campesina (FINCA) in Costa Rica implements an innovative village banking model in its effort to create financially-sustainable solidarity groups. FINCA trains small community groups in a 22-module program to form Community Credit Enterprises (CCE). These small enterprises, or companies, permit members to buy shares as shareholders and generate capital to offer sustainable credit and business models. FINCA has great success with this model locally and regionally and wonders how best to use its gained experience to expand the program in order to continue creating sustainable businesses through training, business and microfinance services.

Beyond the crisis: the social economy, prop of a new model of sustainable economic development

This article analyzes the social economy (SE) as a third major sector between the public economy and the capitalist private economy. It examines the SE concept, compares it with the nonprofit sector and analyzes its microeconomic foundations, functions in the economic system and implications for economic policy. The field of economic analysis needs to be broadened, abandoning the mainstream monism that emphasizes the study of capitalist private enterprises and taking a plural view of the economy. In this approach, other forms of business organization, particularly SE enterprises, become a priority for analysis, opening up new scientific, social and economic vistas.

Sustainable development vs. sustainable redevelopment

Attentive managers will find that sustainable development presents two distinct challenges depending upon where in the world they are operating. The business of sustainable development is quite different in the industrialized and developing worlds. The industrial north, for example, has a well‐developed and prosperous economic infrastructure that provides its citizens with a level of wealth that was unimaginable a century ago. But those economic gains have come at a high environmental cost. The industrial world's economic system is proving to be ecologically unsustainable and is threatening to undo the planet's biological balance. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
