SUMMARY:

This dissertation investigates the feasibility of implementing a social currency in the municipality of Paraíba do Sul (RJ). The study articulates operational guidelines and an economic model to estimate its impacts on regional development, grounded in the principles of solidarity economy and inspired by successful experiences in Brazil, such as the Palma and Bem currencies, and particularly Maricá’s Mumbuca. The research adopts a qualitative and exploratory approach, combining literature review, document analysis, and the collection of primary and secondary data. The proposed economic model is an adaptation of the Keynesian multiplier, incorporating variables such as the marginal propensity to consume locally and the conversion rate of the social currency into the national currency. This methodology aims to minimize income leakages and maximize internal circulation. In addition to presenting a historical and conceptual analysis of the solidarity economy, the work compares representative cases and proposes institutional and legal guidelines adapted to the context of Paraíba do Sul. Expected results include strengthening local commerce, reducing financial exclusion, and promoting more inclusive and sustainable territorial development.
