Harmful Effects

One of the trends of modern state policy is the development of biological and genetic, aimed at solving socio-economic problems and problems caused by global challenges and threats associated with the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic, climate change, reduced biodiversity, and other negative manifestations. In these conditions, there is a need to revise the conceptual approaches to the legal regulation of relations in the field of the use of biological and genetic technologies, taking into account natural and social relationships. The article shows the need to apply to these relations the ecosystem approach, the concept of sustainable development, the interdisciplinary approach “Unified Health”, four “bio”, an integral part of which is to ensure safety (environmental, biological, genetic, sanitary-epidemiological, biosphere). The issues of improving the Russian legislation in the field of application of biological and genetic technologies on an intersectoral basis in connection with the environmental, sanitary and epidemiological, natural resource, agricultural and other industries are considered.The directions of harmonization of the domestic regulatory framework with international norms and treaties, including the assessment of the risks of possible harmful effects of the use of biological and genetic technologies on human health and the environment, are proposed. In Russian legislation, it is necessary to legalize the concepts of “risk assessment”, “risk factors”, as well as to determine the procedure for assessing the potentially and really harmful effects of GMOs and other results of the use of genetic and biotechnologies on human health and the environment.

Vested Interests

The author’s intention is to show that if economics is to become a social science, analysis has to start with the truth of things, continue with the virtue of justice, and end by assigning their rightful places to the approaches of the past 200-odd years: Liberal, Marxist, Austrian, ecclesial and Georgist-Gesellian. The argument hinges on the Land and Money questions, which modern economics persists in not addressing. Hence the rampant economic disorder. The modern State has been rendered impotent by the vested interests that have succeeded in keeping the two questions under wraps. Conventional solutions of economic problems are grossly defective for the same reason. Two men, neither of them an economist, did tackle the problems and solve them: Henry George (1839-97) and Silvio Gesell (1862- 1930). Their solutions: Free Land and Free Money would spell the end of landlordism and usury, thus ending multi-secular oppressions. Oppressors would no doubt put up a stiff resistance.

Over Time

AbstractEvolved dispositions influence, but do not determine, how people think about economic problems. The evolutionary cognitive approach offers important insights but underweights the social transmission of ideas as a level of explanation. The need for asocialexplanation for the evolution of economic attitudes is evidenced, for example, by immense variations in folk-economic beliefs over time and across individuals.

The Relationship

In the article prepared in connection with the discussion on the use of the Marxist political economy heritage and the revival of a special seminar on Marx’s “Capital”, the author shows the dialectic of the relationship between the content and the transformed forms of the modern capitalist system; the potential of “Capital” to understand the content of the modern economy, and the potential of economics to understand its forms. On this basis, the author shows which questions of our time are answered by Marxist methodology and theory, and which are not, and concludes that Marxist political economy has significant methodological potential to become an important component of the scientific and educational process in current conditions.

The One

The article analyzes the psychological basis of the theory and economic policy of libertarianism, as contained in the book by A. Greenspan "The Age of Turbulence", clarifies the strengths and weaknesses of this doctrine that led to its discredit in 2008. It presents a new understanding of liberalization in 1980-1990s as a process of institutional transformation at the micro and meso levels, implemented by politicians and entrepreneurs with predatory and opportunistic mentality. That process caused, on the one hand, the acceleration of growth, on the other hand - the erosion of informal foundations of a market system. With psychology and ideology of libertarianism, it is impossible to perceive real macro risks generated at the micro level, which lead to a systemic crisis, and to develop measures to prevent it.
