that produce them, to the absence of competition between them, to difficulties in the replacement of administrative cost accounting by a complete self-support. The consumer qualities of goods, their economic effectiveness, low specific consumption of materials, modem design, reliability in exploitation and a relative cheapness remain the dream of the Russian consumer. 4. We can find a way out of this situation on the consumer market if we analyze the causes and sequences of the nonefficient system of development of the national economy that prevailed during the last decades. As a result of the economic and political discussions concerning the basic problems of functioning of the economy, we have defined the ways of overcoming the crisis in the output of consumer goods. They all reduce to the following two main propositions. (1) The creation of a new economic mechanism based on diverse forms of property, of a multistructure economy, the development of leasing relations, cooperatives, independent enterprises, the inculcation of new financial and taxation methods. (2) A progressive alteration of the structure of the national economy based on the forced development of industries producing real elements of personal consumption and rendering services to the population; increasing the output of goods and services, ensuring their priority growth as compared to the incomes and savings of the population, all this presupposes a decrease in unjustified investments into subdivisions I and III of the economy, the ensuring of the conversion of the military branches of industry into those serving peaceful purposes, a reduction of management expenses, the creation of market of securities, an issue of new loans, to make certain the possession of vouchers by all the people, a sale of the means of production to private owners. 5. The production of group “A” is an aggregate of goods which, owing to their natural and real form, must or may be consumed by the industry itself as well as by other branches of material production and are therefore elements of the basic and circulating production assets. The production of group “B” is an aggregate of goods which, owing to their natural and real form, must or may be consumed in the nonproductive sphere (the personal consumption by the population or the consumption by enterprises, offices and organization of the nonproductive sphere). The production of the fish industrial complex of Russia consists in the main of goods of group “B”. The “A” group constitutes in the main an intermediate production for internal industrial consumption. Foodstuffs constitute the end production of this industry. In all the five-year plans of the USSR the group “A” production was given a priority development, which was considered to be “a strict observation of the law of the priority growth of the production of means of production.” For many years we witnessed a one-sided orientation on the priority growth of the production of means of production as compared to the output of consumer goods. For decades the investments into the consumer sector of economy were considerably less than into the sector producing goods for technical and production purposes. An opinion remained from prewar years that the extension of the scales of personal consumption lowers essentially the rates of growth of the national income and undermines the basis of industrial accumulation. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a powerful material base for a long time and only then sharply raise the living standards. 1 5 2
