These structures feel themselves as parts of a single whole. A single national market is necessary for the motion of the system and forms the corresponding mentality that opposes the separation of the administrative structures. 8. The governments not only occupy the central position in the scheme but also occupy an intermediate position between enterprises and business firms. Therefore, acting as a “servant of two masters,” the governments have to lead a balanced policy (the taxation policy inclusive), reflecting the interests of two opposite sectors (producers and consumers) and ensuring their unity in the market system. This position of a government defines its obligations and responsibilities both to consumers and to business circles. A violation of the balance in the interests of one of these groups will immediately entail undesirable consequences for definite political leaders who head the corresponding administrative structures. 9. Without interfering with the activity of business firms and the population but only acting in accordance with the laws and norms, the governments regulate the economic medium of their “habitation" thus defining the character of relationships between the subjects of the system, and are, therefore, necessary for each of them. The analysis of functioning of the centralized economy (Fig. 13) leads to the following generalizations. 1. The motion of the system is ensured by the allocation of the resources and production assets to the spheres of production defined by governments. Namely, the decisions of governments are the starting points of the motion system. All the other elements of the economic system obey the will of the governments since they are actual owners of land, natural resources, and production assets. Under these conditions of ownership of the population of their own manpower is formal in nature and depends on the state structures. 2. The rights of the owner of the means of production define the right of the government to dispose of the goods produced by enterprises, to carry out state funding, withdraw the production and distribute it as they think best and at state-set prices. 3. The circular motion of products and goods in the system is sufficiently simple. Under normal stable conditions, such a system can function efficiently when the governments have information sufficient for taking decisions and when the level of qualification of the subjects of the state structures, which make these decisions, is sufficiently high. 4. If the mechanism of self-regulation of the system and of its corresponding adjustment is absent, of decisive importance is not only the quality of decisions made by the managers but also their unquestioning and exact fulfillment. Even seemingly inconsiderable faults in the fulfillment of decisions made by the government can destabilize the whole system. Therefore, all measures ensuring the fulfillment of decisions, even despotic ones, are obligatory for the system. 5. Neither the population nor the enterprises are economically independent, their actions are subjected to the will of the governments which are the owners of the land, natural resources and production assets and which, therefore, can dispose of the production, set prices, regulate motions of 1 3 0
