Inter-Component Relations in a Human-Centered Economy (Part 1)
Aim. The presented study aims to identify and interpret mutual support relationships between the key areas of a human-oriented economy.Tasks. The authors formulate the problems of the relevance of examining economic relationships within the framework of various economic systems; substantiate the existence of economic support relationships and restrictions in the context of a human-centered economy; identify and structure normal and pathological economic support relationships between the spheres of a human-oriented economy.Methods. The theoretical and methodological basis of this study is based on the Wuxing Pentagram.Results. The authors present their view of economic support relationships in a human-centered economy as a result of interaction between its spheres: natural-material, social-service, information-digital, creatosphere and cognitive sphere. The resource (human needs) that ensures the interaction between the components of the economic system is identified. Normal support relationships are determined: natural-material sphere — social-service sphere; social-service sphere –information-digital sphere; information-digital sphere — creatosphere; creatosphere — cognitive sphere; cognitive sphere — natural-material sphere. Pathological support relationships are detected: social-service sphere — natural-material sphere; information-digital sphere — socialservice sphere; creatosphere — information-digital sphere; cognitive sphere — creatosphere; natural-material sphere — cognitive sphere.Conclusions. By defining and understanding inter-component support relationships in the context of a human-oriented economy, it becomes possible to determine directions for their regulation to ensure productive development of the economic system as a whole and each person in particular.
