Abstract

This work develops a brief history of the genesis of the space called "popular economy" and exposes the notorious weaknesses of public policy to understand, encompass and propose solutions to the problems of the weakest. It is inevitably provocative, since it questions the use of the term "popular economy" with its current scope and, proposes instead, the concept of "popular production" to broaden its social scope and its value as a transformative instrument. It presents a proposal for a new comprehensive characterization and an outline of a methodological formulation in order to change the view towards an economy based on the attention of community needs, which we can call popular economy. Finally, it discusses the possible contribution of the national science and technology complex to the development of popular production.
