Когнитивные структуры и политэкономия социализма в СССР

В работе представлена ретроспектива эволюции экономической теории СССР во второй половине ХХ в. в свете дискурсивного анализа, Дискуссии о социализме в 1950-1960-х гг, велись не только экономистами, но и философами. Во многом забытые споры оказали большое влияние на речевые практики коммунистических лидеров, определив довольно жесткие границы возможного реформирования советской экономики. Приводится критический разбор дискуссий вокруг основных концептов социализма: общественной собственности, планомерности, стоимости и товарно-денежных отношений, системы оптимального функционирования экономики, азиатского способа производства, Когнитивный тупик политэкономии социализма в 1970-х гг. был связан с логическими противоречиями в определении государственной собственности, которая была известна еще в глубокой древности: азиатский способ производства, с которым часть марксистов отождествляла социализм, предшествовал капитализму, а не сменял последний. Широкая палитра взглядов советских и зарубежных историков на причины краха СССР оставляет вопрос о возможностях интерпретаций итогов социалистического эксперимента в России открытым.

Cognitive Structures and Political Economy of Socialism in the USSR

Delve into the intricate evolution of economic theory in the USSR during the latter half of the 20th century with "Cognitive Structures and Political Economy of Socialism in the USSR." This book offers a retrospective analysis through the lens of discursive analysis, exploring the debates surrounding socialism in the 1950s and 1960s, which involved not only economists but also philosophers.

Discover how these largely forgotten debates significantly influenced the rhetorical practices of communist leaders, setting rigid boundaries for potential reforms within the Soviet economy. The book provides a critical examination of discussions surrounding core socialist concepts, including public ownership, planned economy, value and commodity-money relations, the system of optimal economic functioning, and the Asiatic mode of production.

Uncover the cognitive impasse of the political economy of socialism in the 1970s, stemming from logical contradictions in the definition of state property, a concept known since ancient times. The book highlights how the Asiatic mode of production, which some Marxists equated with socialism, preceded capitalism rather than succeeding it.
