Social care in human service organisations, in co-operative
associations, in civil engagement and informal self-care is subject of
six studies continuing the discourse in social economy. They deal with
the relationships of the actors in the field of social economy as
purchasers, providers and users in common and personal care. They orient
the business and function of social enterprises into the fabric of
social service relationships. The multiperspective approach shows the
social economy in a new light.
