However, try to imagine a society without the many forms of organizations that form the social economy: social service organizations, arts and recreation organizations, ethno-cultural associations, social clubs, self-help groups, universities and colleges, hospitals and other healthcare providers, foundations, housing co-operatives, or credit unions.

They are both social and economic entities. \u003ci\u003eUnderstanding the Social Economy \u003c\/i\u003eillustrates how organizations in the social economy interact with the other sectors of the economy and highlights the important social infrastructure that these organizations create. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe second edition contains six new case studies as well three new chapters addressing leadership and strategic management, and human resources management.
