ДИСПРОПОРЦИИ МИРОВОЙ ВАЛЮТНОЙ СИСТЕМЫ В КОНТЕКСТЕ ВНЕШНИХ ФАКТОРОВ РАЗВИТИЯ РОССИЙСКОЙ ЭКОНОМИКИ

Abstract

The modern processes of fragmentation of the world economic space are considered through the prism of the struggle for the redistribution of rental income flows at the mega-economic level. The main attention is paid to the problems of financial rent formation. In this regard, the question of the mechanisms of transformation of natural resource rent into financial rent is raised. Financial rent is considered as a tool for redistributing part of the world’s gross value added in favor of the “golden billion”. A comparative analysis of the specific weights of national currencies in world foreign exchange reserves, in international calculations and the real contribution of national economies to world GDP is carried out. The problem of the dominance of the US dollar in the global monetary and financial system is associated with the predetermination of economic crises and their depth in peripheral and semi-peripheral countries and, in particular, with the functioning of the mechanism of exported inflation. The information base of the study is the data of the World Bank, the IMF, SWIFT. The assessment of the concentration of economic power in the global financial market was made using the Herfindahl–Hirschman index. The disproportions of the global economic system are estimated using the Gallagher disproportionality index, traditionally used in political science, but also applicable in economic research.
