This paper analyzes L'Entraide missionnaire from the perspective of its networks which became international over the course of the 1960s. This internationalization was most visible in the collaborations established with Third world theologians and practitioners. From 1968 onwards, L'Entraide radically changed its worldview, taking sides with the poor and marginalized. Notions like consciousness-raising, dialogue, inculturation, and liberation were at the heart of the organization's activities hundreds of Québécois committed to sociopolitical change and community organizations attended. Thus, L'Entraide acted as a catalyst for Québécois to become familiar with different schools of thought and practices, but also to integrate these new ways of thinking collectively about the contemporary world.

The article discusses the use of the concept of moral economy in the discipline of social studies in 20th century scholarship. It explores the origins of moral economy in the writings of sociologist E. P.
