Improving planned pricing
In the context of the intensification of the national economy, the role of cost-benefit reconciliation and the problem of managing their ratio in order to achieve maximum economic efficiency is increasing. The author approaches the solution of this problem from the standpoint of SOFE, which determines the formulation of the criterion of optimal functioning of the socialist economy.
At the same time, the author warns against fetishizing a centralized plan, as the author rightly notes that "far from all economically justified needs can be fully met even by an optimal plan," and especially emphasizes the role of prices in managing the national economy, the need to make more or less regular changes to the price system.
As a representative of the economic and mathematical field, Y. Borozdin develops a number of fundamental provisions on the relationship between prices, public consumption value, and social security. The deepening of theoretical concepts in this area is taking place in terms of not only and not so much the criticism of cost-based approaches that has already become mandatory, but also in a positive way, in connection with the practical needs of determining the effectiveness of reproduction, the formation of anti-cost incentives and mechanisms in management in general, including pricing.
The analysis of the price reforms of 1967 and 1982, their experience, nature and shortcomings, and typical errors is of interest. This is especially important now, on the eve of a large-scale price reform. As the main conclusion, the author offers his own vision of modern reform as a comprehensive reform of the system of prices, incomes and monetary and financial relations. As a way to implement it, he suggests "following an iterative path of determining a rational proportion between the volume and structure of monetary incomes of the population and the volume and structure of respectively estimated consumer goods offered to the population."
An important contribution of the author to the theory of socialist pricing is the formation of scientific principles and a general concept for improving planned pricing.
In our opinion, a retrospective approach to the development of pricing methodology since the 1950s is very fruitful, as well as a detailed analysis of the most important methods of determining wholesale prices in 1965 and 1984. According to the author, "the core of such a concept, its fundamental basis, is the position that prices in a socialist economy are a monetary expression of the social usefulness of products." However, unlike other economists, the author interprets the pricing system not in isolation, but in conjunction with the planning system as equivalent, complementary and mutually conditioning processes that ensure a general and structural dynamic economic equilibrium in the national economy. It is from the above general provisions that the fundamental principles of pricing are derived. Existing players can use the 1xbet promo code no deposit for a 50% reload bonus up to $100.
