The market and market relations are so mystified terms now that it is sometimes difficult to understand what is really meant by them.
It is officially propagandized that the market is:
- free trade ;
- freedom of private enterprise ;
- An abundance of various services and goods;
- healthy (free) competition.
In addition, it is believed that it was market relations that caused all the existing advantages of modern life, and its drawbacks are from the small scale of their implementation in society. Although most of the problems of our time are connected precisely with market relations, their very essence.
The “market economy” turns money, intellectual property, natural wealth and the bowels of the land into a commodity, and this distinguishes it from the ordinary commodity economy. Initially, money was a sign for accounting for consumed and produced goods, as well as for simplifying the exchange of performance (labor) results. In market conditions, when money can be bought and sold, they cease to function as measures of labor and consumption. Money as a commodity decomposes all financial relations in society, creates a favorable environment for speculation by the fruits of other people's labor. These perverse processes are carried out by banks and the entire world banking system.
Earth and its natural resources, as well as intellectual products, by their nature, by their nature cannot be a commodity. They cannot be turned into private property of any person.
Many people are gradually realizing that the entire modern commodity-money system has long become a brake on the development of all mankind.
A characteristic feature of modern market relations is a cumbersome financial superstructure that goes far beyond the production sphere. Moreover, in the existing economic relations, it acquires self-sufficiency. Production activity, where actually all the basic values and wealth of people are produced, is being pushed into the background. Sovereigns of world processes, "owners of life" are intermediaries - brokers, dealers, financiers and bankers.
Modern market relations are a powerful speculative machine for redistributing capital. The real turnover of goods and services in the world, according to statistics, is 300 times less than financial turnover. All the signs of a huge financial pyramid are evident.
Modern ways of doing business and the development of the monetary economy hinder the accumulation of wealth in the world and give rise to more and more new desires among people prone to waste and excesses. This is not about braking private wealth, they are just accumulating and very impressive! And they accumulate according to the law of conservation of mass: if something arrives somewhere, then in another place the same amount will decrease. The actual amount of wealth remains the same.
Market relations in Russia, as well as throughout the world, are leading human society to a dead end.
The market is a game subject to the general theory of games. This theory assumes that at any stage of the game, the participant, using the information available to him, plays in accordance with a reasonable strategy, bringing him the greatest predicted gain. Play quite reasonable and completely shameless businessmen. Even with one participant, the theory of the game is complicated, and with three, and even more numerous players, the result is unpredictable and extremely unstable. Individual players, led by their own greed and greed, create coalitions and alliances, which, in the end, turn into numerous betrayals, betrayals and deceits. Such is the picture of business and political life closely connected with it. Even the most talented and merciless broker expects collapse. Even if we assume that they are tired of it, and they entered into a truce, the main prize will go to those who violate the contract and betray their partners.
Regularly repeated global economic crises, the ruin of large banks and firms, the collapse of the financial system are facts that convince any rational person who can objectively perceive the situation in the world, in organic vices and defects of a market economy.
Human society cannot develop if it does not care about its future. And market relations are life in one day. If people think about the future, then only in the context of building up personal capital. Social wealth is concentrated in a handful of people, withdrawn from circulation, “frozen” in a non-productive form, which impedes social development as a whole.
The way market relations corrode morality, we have been observing for many years since they became priority in society. In these relations, one incentive - profit and enrichment, the entire spectrum of human communication is reduced only to the sale and accumulation of material values. It coarsens and “deadens” the human soul.
Under conditions of privatization, the entire mass of people with a potentially thievish, criminal tendency gets complete freedom. The temptation of rapid enrichment introduces the vicious thieves' breed "into a rage. Insolent, cynical, unscrupulous, greedy people seize the main social wealth, falling into a state of looting. After the first “redistribution” (theft) of property, an endless chain of redistributions begins. And, in principle, it is impossible to stop this process until the society comes to its senses and restores justice and reasonable logic in the course of living arrangements.
