Chapter 5 The market must interest all the participants of the “industry-exchange-consumption” cycle in the provision of consumers, first of all. The market of goods with its infrastructure must become an inalienable part of the economic mechanism of functioning of the economy in accordance with its objective economic laws. The history of the market as a necessary attribute of production runs into thousands of years. In every social and economic formation, the market has its specific features. The formation of the present-day world market mechanism has taken many years and was the result of the influence of various objective and long-term factors. It is also affected by some subjective factors, which caused changes not only in the amount of goods on the market, the level of satisfaction of the requirements, but also the system of the market regulation. The market cannot function without this regulation. The free market has sunk into oblivion. An economically developed state with a high level of efficiency uses a combination of planned and market economy. The population of our country is not yet psychologically ready for the transition to the market economy, because of the political and economic stereotype in accordance with which we consider the principle of equal distribution, and not the differentiation of incomes conforming to labor input, to be the correct approach. The disbalance of monetary incomes and the possibilities of buying necessary goods with this money leads to a loss of stimulus for labor. The situation is aggravated by the development of a heavy demand, which cannot be resolved from above because of an acute deficit of goods that, in turn, is a direct consequence of a non-consumer structure of the economy in Russia. Let us consider this problem. S.l. Structure of Modem Industries Producing Consumer Goods The production of group “B” industries is a collection of goods which, because of their natural form, are intended, or may be intended, for nonindustrial consumption (the consumption by the population or by offices, enterprises, organizations of the nonindustrial sphere). The production of group “A” industries is a collection of goods which, because of their natural form, are intended, or may be intended, for industrial consumption both in the industry itself and in other branches of material production and are, therefore, elements of the capital and circulating assets. Many goods of industrial production, as they are actually used, are mixed-purpose goods, i.e., are used both as means of production and as consumer goods. We should, thus, distinguish between three groups of industrial products: Functioning o f Enterprises o f the Fish Industrial Complex under Market Conditions 1 2 3
