This article addresses the social and solidarity economy as an alternative to the traditional economic model, as it places people and the environment at its center. The objective is to examine the historical evolution of the management of this economy and its impact on the social lives of individuals from 1945 to the present. To achieve this objective, a qualitative study was conducted with a documentary and descriptive design. The research was based on the review and analysis of documentary sources and case studies, using 26 sources. The research identified several stages, beginning with the role of unions and collective bargaining in the postwar period (1945-1975); subsequently, in the 1960s and 1970s, self-management movements emerged that challenged the capitalist model. During the 1980s, worker takeovers of bankrupt companies became popular, transforming them into cooperatives, first in Europe and then in South America. Finally, the resurgence of the popular economy in Latin America as a response to crises was analyzed, highlighting the organization of recyclers in Colombia. It is concluded that the popular economy has gained legitimacy and is no longer seen as a mechanism for managing poverty. However, doubts persist about its capacity to evolve from subsistence to forms of accumulation, revealing a divide between efficiency and solidarity.
