Abstract
A model of "community economies" is arising from a feminist critique of political economy that rejects its features of dominance and subordination. This model is an ongoing process of negotiating our interdependence based on six coordinates: survival, surplus, transactions, consumption, commons, and investment. One set of emerging strategies activates a politics of language to describe economic diversity and make current ethical economic practices visible. A second set broadens the horizon of economic politics so that ethical economic practices might multiply. More than a dozen projects in various parts of the world illustrate how these collective actions work in practice.
