On the issue of the mobilization economy in the new social reality

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to substantiate the need to develop the “mobilization economy” concept, conditioned by the new social reality that has developed over the past decades, as an alternative to the concept of a liberal market model. Growing macroeconomic and geopolitical instability and uncertainty, steadily increasing threats and risks determine the dynamics and multidirectional nature of modern socio-economic processes, which creates the need for society to develop new economic development scenarios adequate to modern challenges. The article reveals the content and nature of the “mobilization economic model” and its determinancy by the growing trend towards socialization and production concentration, its further diversification. In the context of inefficient and unfair competition spread in modern conditions, general decline in the efficiency of small-scale production, and crisis of the participatory management model, the authors reveal specific prospects and directions for the formation of a “mobilization economic model” as a backup option for force majeure political and economic situations and most appropriate to the era of the globalism crisis, the growing civilizational confrontation of the collective West to other poles of the world development and the risks associated with these circumstances (price and trade wars, sanctions policy and degradation of free market economy principles).
