POLITICAL ECONOMY OF STRONG POWER Formulation of The Problem

The article is devoted to the methodological problems of the political economy of socialism. It provides a categorical distinction between the structural and dynamic dependencies of the political-economic system. On the one hand, structural dependence has an object-subject direction, ascending from productive forces to production relations and from them to state power. On the other hand, the direct opposite, subject-object direction is inherent in dynamic dependence, descending from state power to production relations and the conscious use of their objective laws for the development of productive forces. This subject-object dependence reaches its fullest embodiment under conditions of strong power, the standard of which is the political-economic system of contemporary China.
