Marc Delachaussée : A great illustration of the social economy

A great illustration of the social economy Marc Delachaussée, a member of the FEDE Panel of Experts, has just created a committee of experts within his own company! Its members have diverse backgrounds (law, economics and accounting) and intend to pool their skills to help businesses in difficulty. Inspired by the social economy, the initiative aims, among other things, to help prevent bankruptcies. Marc Delachaussée is also a teacher at Cergy Pontoise University, where he teaches business finance. His theoretical and applied activities should soon result in a book arguing for the relevance of an operational and humanist approach to finance.

Nobody – be it the traditional parties, the pseudo-new forms of representation (the ‘neither left-wingers nor right-wingers’ of [lire plus]
