We understand as failure those cooperatives that pass for difficulties of generation of income and consequence dissolution and as success those cooperatives whose factors economic and social they are not only seen as an end, but as a way for its growth. We leave of the principle of that a differentiation between the Traditional Cooperatives exists - that they function, over all, as capital society, or either, maximizes chances and reaches a similar economic rationality to the ones of the too much capitalist companies through technological, financial and organizacional mechanisms, increasing its production essentially in relation to the market, accumulating and centering capital without the main concern with social justice; and the selected ones for the development of this thesis of, the cooperatives of agrarian production - CPAs in agrarian reform settlements - that they function, above of everything, as a society of people. This type of organization of production and work possess character and socialist inspiration and if it characterizes for presenting a differentiated management, based in the historical principles of the cooperativismo.
