Abstract
The article discusses the field of worker cooperativism under programs from the case of the Social Income Program through Work (Prist). Structural issues and changes of circumstances of the management hinges are addressed. It maintains that the changes imposed by Mauricio Macri´s administration are built up and made legitimate on a set of so-called “pre-existing weaknesses” of the program, where the cooperative schedule had started to lose momentum. So far, the new administration has focused on training activities with a new version of the theory of human capital and on the income transferences component. This work leaves open questions about the future possibilites and disputes over the Prist program and the line of the worker cooperativism under programs between stances nearer the recognition of new forms of self-managed-associative work followed by popular economy sectors, on the one hand, and government proposals of an individual nature tending to de-collectivize the approach to public policy.
