Associative economics is often emphasized in terms of joint operation between producers, traders, and consumers. More recently, it has also been connected to critiques of the negative effects of international speculative capital flows.

Opportunities can thereby be lost to develop associative economics from a more immediate, organizationally internal perspective.
