Odessa school and the present
ABSTRACT ▼
The scientific traditions of the Odessa School of Economic Thought, which was created by Professor A.K. Pokrytan, can play a significant role in the further development of the logico-historical approach to the analysis of economic development. One of the most important methodological foundations of the Odessa school is the consistent delineation of the formal and the real sides of the transformation processes. The main purpose of the article is to outline in the most general terms the opportunities that the methodology of the Odessa school opens up for the analysis of the transformation processes unfolding today in the world economy and, first of all, in the most developed countries.
The most important result of the study is connected with the conclusion that at the present time the process of the movement of a highly developed economy is developing not just towards the next technological order, but towards a new technological method of production. This tendency can explain much in the modern world, including the turbulence that we see today in Western society. Modern highly developed society is still only nominally post-industrial, and there has yet to be a process of real post-industrial transformation in the future. The latter can be very painful for it, since it is connected with the mass expulsion of people from the sphere of material production and management. Thus, the main conclusion is that the contradiction between formal and real transformation, which at the end of the 20th century determined the historical fate of Soviet society, in the 21st century begins to exacerbate now in Western society, which enters into a process of real post-industrial transformation.
Keywords: logical-historical approach, Odessa school, economic theory, real post-industrial transformation, technological way of production, highly developed economy
