The article is devoted to the study of the Soviet and post-Soviet Marxists’ views on the problem of technical and economic transformations. The stages in the development of Soviet thought in this matter are systematized, and the potential of applying the authors’ key ideas in the context of the challenges brought in by modern technological shifts is shown. With regard to the period after the collapse of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), the emphasis is on the developments of researchers belonging to the post-Soviet school of critical Marxism, as well as colleagues acting in an active dialogue with this focus area. What is emphasized is the high potential of the Marxist tendency in further studies of the contradictions of the economic system caused by technological transformations.

Major Factors

Globalization is considered as one of the major factors shaping modern economic processes. Liberalization and integration of markets, which are based on the achievement of scientific and technological revolution, qualitatively forms the political and economic environment. The global economic system becomes more and more complex. The consequence of that is a change in behavior of market participants – not only enterprises, but also households. In case of Poland, with proper participation in international economic, political, scientific, cultural and social cooperation, it was not until the late 1980s. The last decades for Polish households can be viewed as a period of a new socio-economic reality.

The author proves that the decline of neo-liberalism and the growth of a new conservative wave are objectively conditioned. The prevailing model of late capitalism that has led to the domination of the market of simulacra, financialization and stagnation, called the ‘new normality’, cannot ensure the progress of the productive forces that are on the verge of not just another technological revolution, but a qualitative change - the genesis of the economy in which a decisive role will be played not by reproductive, but by creative work. Not just re-industrialization - the coming creative revolution - necessitates at least a deep reform of the currently dominant social and economic system. The non-realization of these changes is fraught with conservative regress of both the economy and society. The article provides a substantiation of this conclusion based on the updated classical Marxist methodology and systematizes the main directions of reforming the system of economic relations that respond to the challenges of the progress of the productive forces.

The overwhelming majority of countries lack their own resources to carry out socio-economic transformations, cover the budget deficit and make domestic investments, which is why many countries resort to external sources of financing, hence the national debt. It will probably be quite difficult to find a country that does not resort to raising funds from external or internal sources of financing. In general, credit cannot be considered as some kind of “absolute evil”, since rationally used loans and borrowings can significantly accelerate economic development, make the process of expanded reproduction more efficient and dynamic, solve many social and economic problems, etc. at the same time, significant public debt is a heavy burden that can complicate the normal functioning of the economic system. The growth of government debt reduces the stock of capital in the economic system (since, for example, the holder of savings, instead of investing in the economy through the purchase of shares of various companies or lending extended reproduction, buys government bonds, thereby financing the state and its needs). External debt — the total debt of the state, expressed in monetary units and interest on their payments. The creation of a civilized financial space is a very important moment for each state that has embarked on the path of market relations in their full implementation. And if most countries capitalized relations long ago, then the independent countries that emerged after the collapse of the socialist empire needed to gain new experience in the shortest possible time.

Economic transformations have had a significant impact on the systemic foundations of the functioning of regions as components of the state. At the same time, the development and finalization of a science-based approach to the concept of «socio-economic system of the region» is hindered by its multidimensionality and polystructure. The article analyzes and summarizes the scientific works of domestic and foreign scientists in the field of researching approaches to the essence of the regional socio-economic system. As a result of the study, the components forming the regional socio-economic system are identified. Using a systematic approach and analysis of structural elements, the region is considered from the perspective of a social economic system. The author offers definitions of the concepts of «socio-economic system» and «regional socio-economic system». As part of the study, the main objective of the functioning of the regional socio-economic system is defined as the most efficient use of available resources to ensure economic growth and as a result of improving the standard of living of citizens.

Economic Transformations

In isolation the FPRY had to look for new ways of existence. Tito and his associates understood the need to create a new economic system, taking into account the realities that arose after the break with the USSR, up until Tito’s death in 1980. Yugoslavia was a springboard for an uninterrupted economic experiment. The Socialist Republic of Slovenia, being one of the most developed republics of Yugoslavia, often acted as the initiator of various economic transformations in the country. The thesis of the unwillingness to “pull back the backward republics and territories” became the main one in polemics with the center. The desire to gain economic independence did not leave indifferent the intellectuals, which spoke more and more about the necessity of respecting the culture and maintaining the independent cultural development of the peoples of Yugoslavia.

The problems of «green economy» development as an important component of structural transformations, a factor in the formation of a new model of economic system, which is characterized by flexibility, innovation and a tendency to self-development are considered in the article. The nature and features of «green transformations», their influence on the processes of formation of the branch structure of the economy are shown. The factors of «green transformations» are systematized, the peculiarities of their manifestation and possible effects are characterized. The role of the state in ensuring the processes of structural optimization of the economy on the basis of environmentally friendly policy is considered. The system of limitations of effective transformation of the structure of the economy in the conditions of incompleteness of market-oriented economic transformations, the presence of significant structural disparities and resource-intensive nature of the economic model is revealed. The fact that structural transformations are associated with progressive changes in the structure of the economy, the development of integration processes at the intersectoral level, as well as greening the economy, the emergence of green sectors of the economy, strengthening their integration into intersectoral relations is emphasized. The mechanism of the development of «green economy» in the context of transformation of the structure of economic system is revealed. It is proved that even in the conditions of resource-intensive economy and low efficiency of institutional environment, the state policy of stimulating development of a «green sector» economy, provides the formation of preconditions of innovative development of economy, that gradually activates processes of structural transformations. The development of the «green economy» is seen as a factor in diversifying the model of the economic system, strengthening the level of integration of industries, ensuring the internal structural integrity of the economy, its stability and flexibility. In order to ensure the effectiveness of the processes of «green economy» development, the need to find approaches to ensure the rational integration of environmental and economic instruments of public policy into its integrated mechanisms is substantiated.
