modernization

The present article is devoted to one of the most urgent items of the stat-of-the-art development of national (domestic) manufacture. The enterprises’ development results in many ways depend on the state of production facilities and rate of competitiveness in the external market. Beneficial effect is possible to be achieved only if sound and regular interaction between two directions of development, such as technical re-equipment and external economic space broadening, will be established.

In the article there are considered the reasons of modern structural crisis in Russian economy. The author makes a conclusion of a catastrophic economical lag in Russia comparing it with economies of highly developed countries. Recommendations about the removal of Russian economy to the path of leading development are given in the article.

Introduction. V. N. Tatishchev, one of the founders of the Russian history studies, was notable for his broad views on the evolution of society and economic order. His economic views were not widely discussed during his lifetime and were not much in demand afterwards. Familiarity with his major works is hampered by the fact that they were almost never published in the form of notes, letters, and manuscripts. The ambiguity of his approaches, conclusions, recommendations and, accordingly, their evaluation was noted by many researchers who took diametrically opposed views. Deep erudition, reliance on Western European philosophy and Russian theology allowed the enlightener to create the conceptual milestones of the future institutional program. Theoretical analysis. Modernization of society should be based on constant changes in existing legislative and economic practices, ideological perceptions, and cultural patterns. This approach allows us to identify the most effective institutions (formal and informal rules), taking into account national specifics. Methodologically, the relationship between changes in public administration and social ethos “vertically and horizontally” is established; the importance of societal economic culture as a factor of sustainable development is emphasized. Empirical analysis. Considered chronologically consecutive works on purely economic topics and legal foundations of power are supported by a significant array of letters to Peter I, the Academy of Sciences, the Berg Collegium, and public figures of the first half of the 18th century. According to the thinker, economic policy, both at micro and macro levels, should be based on regulations, organizational adaptation and rational borrowing. The qualitative description of the structure of social relations of absolutist Russia, in the form of “physiology of society”, which resonates with the modern concepts in economic sociology and new institutional economic theory, is highlighted. Results. V. N. Tatishchev can reasonably be considered the conceptual forerunner of the modern theory of institutionalism. As an enlightener, in the spirit of eighteenth-century social thought, he created an introduction to the importance of permanent changes in Russian economic and social structures. The imperative of state construction of the economy at the macro level is supported by attention to micro-changes in the form of regular economic practices, combining elements of originality and creative borrowing of foreign innovations. Evolutionary approach of the thinker echoes the formation and development of economic views of the XIX and XX centuries, especially in the prerequisites of the theory of history periodization and the transition from one political order to another on the basis of changes in institutions (formal and informal rules).

The maintenance of national security and the
implementation of a strategic course for innovative development in
conditions of economic sanctions by the Western countries and the
need to raise the issue of new industrialization of import substitution
(reindustializacii). Implementation of the strategy requires action on
the reindustrialization of the financial resources of the innovation
process, affecting the economic interests of the subjects, moral
norms and the principles of economic consciousness. Methods.
The study uses treatment of concepts in the scientific literature, the
dialectic of the General and specific, multidisciplinary and production
approaches. Theoretical analysis. The article examines the
role of ethical-moral component of economic consciousness in new
industrialization strategy. Emphasizes the importance of moral and
ethical values and attitudes of entrepreneurs in making decisions on
the use of the proceeds-or for the development and modernization
of production, or for personal enrichment and export capital abroad.

Results. The level of morality of real proprietors of the national wealth
in Russia, financial oligarchy allows you to use the power of the State
not to invest in innovation, and in their own interests through corruption,
lobbying, development and adoption of the State budget and
other economic and political decision-making. From the entrepreneurs
observed deformation of ethical principles and standards of conduct,
which is manifested in violations of labour standards. Approach to
addressing violations of morality must be a system, and legislative,
economic, and psychological and ideological measures.
