This text supports that to approach the subject of the identity of the cooperatives and its expansion limits refers to the context of the community, where the cooperative must have its roots. Thus, the cooperative can be defined by its identity and expansion. Outside that area, when the economic activity is not bound to the community, the cooperative identity (based on the solidarity and reciprocity values) is given from the outside and the limits of their expansion are defined by the market.
Key words: popular economy, cooperatives, community.
