Про творчу спадщину А.К. Покритана

Abstract

The article reveals the most important scientific aspects of creative heritage of the outstanding economist Anatoliy Karpovych Pokrytan. It is shown that his research of the problem of property, the theory of social reproduction, and methodological problems of economic theory are in demand today in the study of the problems of Ukraine’s economy and the world economic space. According to A.K. Pokrytan, in the process of scientific research it is impossible to study the structure of the economic system without taking into account its genesis, and vice versa, the study of genesis is possible only on the basis of knowledge of its structure. It is shown that the combination of logical and historical forms of cognition allowed A.K. Pokrytan, in the conditions of independent Ukraine, to give not only an objective assessment of the past economic system, but also to understand the nature of market reforms in this country’s economy and identify those problems whose solution will overcome the negative trends in the market economy. It is determined that in modern conditions the main provisions of scientific concepts of A.K.Pokrytan can reasonably be used in solving modern problems of the theoretical analysis of economic processes. It is shown that the researcher’s contribution is a methodological and theoretical tool that allows to study the nature of modern development of Ukraine’s economy.
