DEMARCATION BETWEEN SCIENTIFIC AND PSEUDO-SCIENTIFIC ECONOMICS: IT IS NECESSARY TO REJECT THE CHREMATIST COMPONENT

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to focus the attention of the economic public on the fact that the economy will be able to function effectively only when it appears completely in its pure form and gets rid of various ballast-forming components that are currently closely intertwined with it and inhibit its development. The methodology consists in the use of systemic and philosophical-humanistic approaches, logical and sensory perception of reality, as well as the use of analogies borrowed from nature and from closed technical processes that have already been built and function successfully on the basis of the universal laws of the universe. The results. The difference in the approaches of various theories to the functioning of the economy is shown. It is proven that the modern liberal economic theory is scientifically unsound, as it operates with pseudo-scientific categories such as "profit", "percent", as a result of which the economy does not work and constantly leads to all kinds of negative phenomena: crises, inflation, unemployment, etc. With the new model, there are no contradictions inherent in the modern economy and, above all, crisis phenomena. The scientific novelty is that, for the first time, scientifically based principles and rules of operation, completely different from the existing economic model, have been adopted. The negative impact on the economy of such pseudoscientific categories as "profit" and "interest" has been proven. Money should be paid only for work. All theories, schools and trends that support the receipt of "profit" and "interest" on loans are unscientific. Practical significance. A new economic structure is proposed, which will function on completely different principles - a model of a highly efficient national economy. In this model, the real economy comes to the fore, and the financial system is relegated to the background, only as a service system. The transition to the proposed macroeconomic model will allow many times to improve the functioning of the economic system in the interests of the entire society, which will very quickly be reflected in the increase in the well-being of all citizens and the state.
