In our economy, as well, various forms of relationships between enterprises reflect the requirements of the market since this diversity of forms was generated by the market and is constantly reproduced. As concerns the economy of the Northern fish industrial basin, here large enterprises and associations will, in future, constitute its basis and ensure its leadership on the market due to great volumes of catches and a fine processing of fish supplies.

From top to bottom the administration must be commercialized. At the same time, our economy is completely at the mercy of the administrators and homemade enterprisers and is not protected by institutes of public control. Under these conditions, the determining factors in the economic relationships are the competition of unscrupulous producers, especially of supermonopolies, the falsification of the quality of goods, the bribery of state employees of all ranks and levels, the blackmail, and so on. A low level of legal culture and of political consciousness make working people to seek the way of raising their wages not in the increase of labor productivity, for instance, but in strikes and other forms of struggle with the aim of raising their profits without any connection with their real 1 4 0
