Salary scales in the common good economy

Abstract

Since its beginnings, the capitalist economic system, has not been exempt from theories and critical thoughts that have put on the table its difficulties and impossibilities in certain aspects. Many thinkers believe that the present capitalist economy has, aside from monetary crisis, repercussions in other contexts (ecological, energy, social, food crisis, etc.). Other types of alternative economies have appeared along since the capitalist system, such as, recently, the Economy of the Common Good, an economic project that aims to create incentives in which economic activity is directed towards the Common Good. This economy tries to promote human values of solidarity, dignity, sustainability, social justice, democracy and transparency, recovering the concept of economic success and linking it to social benefit. The use of the premises that the EBC proposes to conform salary scales and fair remuneration is analyzed, together with the contributions and indicators of the two fundamental model´s values; equity and social justice.
