After the victory of the
Revolution of Duty and started Moscow insidious war against Ukraine, the
company is still in a state of economic depression. Former government Donetsk
bandits and oligarchs stripped almost to the penny hapless Ukrainian
population, the new democratic government in the last six months failed to even
fill up a quarter of the state budget, and then robs Ukrainian. What next after
military crisis, a new Great Depression or another soviet New Economic Politics?
In order to save Ukraine
and its economy should forget about capitalism and socialism, or other suitable
Ukrainian samples not supposed economic prosperity, based only on the
exploitation of the working masses to enrich oligarchic ruling minority. At the
present stage of development is the only correct way to economic recovery in
Ukraine, namely the introduction of the listianism theory or the List’s
economic doctrine. Ukrainian nationalists and the Movement for Hetmanate
particular offering his vision about finding a solution to the economic crisis.
The listianism theory or
the List’s economic doctrine is the economic ideas of Friedrich List, a
forgotten German economist, patriot, which now are not only relevant, but also
salutary – if properly applied, particularly for countries affected by
communist regimes, as well as the current financial and economic crisis. This
is especially true of its post-Soviet Ukraine, distorted colonial economy,
which is now – through bureaucratic state apparatus – privatized several large
financial and industrial groups.
Nationalism as a separate
economic system and gave the definition of economic nation is bringing people
together in one area to protect their interests, namely the national economy
creates a nation and economic power is a prerequisite of political power and
influence of the nation. That national consolidation is a prerequisite for
economic development. Ukrainian political nation actually exists as a
historical and completed a fact for which voted more than 90% of Ukraine
referendum on December 1, 1991 In addition, the nation is constantly on the go
and in need of reform and modernization. Moreover, nations and states, which
have economic, cultural and political dimensions are long interactivity.
Government policy at
present for the globalized world should be based on the fundamental principles
of the listianism theory or the List’s economic doctrine. If you do not, we
lose the historicity of Ukraine, we should cherish the culture market through
the institutionalization of economic activity. In order to become a strong
state must implement an economic policy that would be adequate to reality,
effective and pro-active. In other words, it should anticipate, including
crisis and seek adequate responses to the challenges for us is coming. Economic
liberalism of the country compromised as inadequate realities. It actually came
down to the primitive, only the monetary approach to economic decisions. Art of
economic policy should be based on both market mechanisms and state regulation.
Understanding the history
and present as only two opposition political economy systems – communism and
liberalism is limited and insufficient. The third version of which was and
still is economic nationalism, once chosen by many countries as a way to
economic prosperity. Today, in times of crisis, when Ukraine has survived the
collapse of communism and now with the world is experiencing the collapse of
classical economic liberalism, it's time to recall the ideas of Friedrich List
and understand that nationalism is profitable. It follows another simple and
logical conclusion: the nation's economy develops and the nation and the state,
that the national state – promote healthy economic development for the benefit
of all citizens.
There are main objects of
the listianism theory or the List’s economic doctrine:
The Finance: The financial policy is
controlled by the state, governed by its laws, but is not subject to government
agencies. Keeping control of the national capital of the banking system.
The Trade: Free the existence of
the internal market. Public administration in international trade agreements.
Each state protects its producers.
The Industry: Government support for
domestic producers and strategically important industries. State control over
them.
The Agriculture: Supporting the agriculture
is the average farm. They have the right to own the means of production and to
manage the results of their work. Activities farmers should not harm the
national economy. The level and extent of competition are minimized cooperative
unions.
The role of the state: The state is the main
tool to achieve economic well-being of the nation and the people living in its
territory. Because of this state a value for its population. State is the single
player in the economic system along with its other entities.
The main economic goal: Economic development of
the nation as part of the international community. Class character is not
denied, but is not allowed uncontrolled exploitation of workers bourgeoisie
(owners of capital). The welfare of the individual depends on the welfare of
the nation.
The Private Property: It is not sacred, but
is seen as a necessity. Private property is given to representatives of the
nation to increase personal and social well-being.
Friedrich List believed that the state should develop science, education
and transportation system that serve the main driver of development and
modernization of the nation and the state, and invest in these funds. Thus, the
listianism theory or the List’s economic doctrine economic scheme sought to
combine the most optimal planning methods, is regulated and market economies.
