and poverty – which applies to many of the Afro-descendants of Ecuador, who constitute 7.2 per cent of the population. We agree with Sen that the enormous scope for the agency of women is one of the most neglected questions in development studies. In the case of the Afro-Ecuadorian people there are a number of examples. Increasingly there are natural catastrophes such as drought, earthquakes and flood. But it is the women who are most affected by the climate crisis, as we have to continue maintaining the household, attending to the family, as well as getting food, searching for water, producing and reproducing life – in conditions that are tougher and tougher. In the mangrove ecological system the lack of work has meant that men are the first to emigrate. And this is when the women have to take on the tasks of providing the needs of the family, anchored to its roots. The women charged with collecting shells and reforesting for organizations like FUNDECON are the first to suffer the consequences of this deforestation. Up to 56 per cent of the species have already disappeared, as in Muisne. Rosa Guillen, coordinator of the Women Transforming the Economy Network of Peru says: “the construction of a new model of social development that fights capitalism must recognize women as producers, their reproductive work and their leadership, without discrimination, in conducting society.” (2006) We feel that we have covered discursively the four fundamental themes concerning the problems of the crisis of capitalism. In spite of some criticism we think that they are key themes for reflection although they do not include all the dimensions of the problematic and we suggest the possibility of other themes being included which, for other cultures, could be more important. We would call for the building of a new mode of political, socio-cultural production based on ethno-development. This would emphasize that this should start with a profound, complex and conscientious investigation, modification and production of individual and collective public policies that take into account the cosmovision of the time-space community and of the various values, arranged in order 290
of importance, of each culture, of the socio-cultural territorial interests, of the different kinds of communal traditions and customs. It should include everything that generates conflict, alliances and trade between the peoples, nationalities, pluri-nationalities, interculturalities from the ‘feel-think’ approach, our everyday history from memories, action and socio-cultural projection. This would involve the ‘common good’ as an inter-sectoral access to agreement on the priorities of resources for an integral life, a continuing micro and macro exercise of abundance based on the various inter-related, inter-subjective and intercultural factors of satisfaction. 291
