Research problem: the insufficiency of conventional economic models to address the environmental crisis and inequalities generated by capitalist modernity. General objective: to critically analyze capitalist modernity in order to identify how the social and solidarity economy (SSE) and Good Living (Buen Vivir) offer alternatives to the environmental crisis and the hegemonic development model. Classification and design: qualitative, descriptive-critical scope, secondary sources (documentary analysis), and non-experimental cross-sectional design. Research instruments: literature review and thematic documentary analysis cards. Validation of instruments: application of inclusion and exclusion criteria through academic mapping. Data analysis: qualitative theoretical-conceptual synthesis. Results: SSE is a transcendental, epistemic, and practical proposal that goes beyond conventional sustainable development by placing life at the center of the economy. Conclusions: SSE and Buen Vivir transform the foundations of the hegemonic model by prioritizing the sustainability of life in the face of the civilizational crisis.Keywords: Social and Solidarity Economy, environmental crisis, Buen Vivir, coloniality, sustainable development.
