Cooperative practices: survival strategies, "alternative" movements or capitalism re-embedding?

# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
Cooperative practices are the backbone of social reproduction in human society. Notwithstanding neoclassical discourse - accompanying the  propagation  of  capitalist  market  economy  -  has  overshadowed  the  importance  of  these  practices.  The  enthronement  of  the  ‘homo  economicus’ disguises the existence of other kinds of logics, practices and  subjectivities  which  challenge  the  very  axioms  of  this  scientific paradigm: maximization of profit, individual choice and competition 
for scarce resources. 
Nevertheless, human  history   is   full   of   examples   where reciprocity, cooperation and/or solidarity are at the core of economic practices aimed at ensuring the livelihood of the people and, in more abstract  terms,  the  reproduction  of  life.  Economic  anthropology has  deeply  analysed  this  topic,  questioning  the  reification  of  the “rational  man”  and  underlining  the  existence  of  other  logics  of  exchange  and  circulation  different  from  “competition”  in  the  so-called “free market”.
