Економічний прагматизм: політекономічна сутність, антиподи і прояви імітації

Abstract

The article reveals the political and economic essence of economic pragmatism as a dialectical-centrist antipode to liberal-monetarism and economic voluntarism. The author gives a theoretical evaluation of the manifestations of new understanding of economic pragmatism in the context of two manifestations of falsification of its political-economic essence. It is proved that the experience of Poland, which is proposed by the "new pragmatism" as a modern model, cannot be implemented in Ukraine in the post-war period to ensure the dynamic development of the real sector on a modern technical and technological basis. From the standpoint of economic pragmatism, it is proved that the "dosed" convergence of "socialist" relations in the economy of a capitalist country cannot be extended to its political, ideological and social spheres. The author reveals the reasons for the fact that the specified unique socio-political and economic symbiosis not only contributed to the dynamic development of China, but provided this country’s evolution to a society of "general welfare" and made it possible to lay the foundations for a long period of development of "market-state socialism".
