their wages are overcome. However, they are inevitably punished economically when it turns out that there is nothing useful to buy with these wages. Thus, the economic boundary of monetary payments is not the rate of growth of output in cost but the rate of increase of the production of industries producing real elements of persona! consumption, including fishstuffs, as well as the rate of the increase of services, including transportation ones. This is what the “economic nature of things” is now. It has been violated every year for a long time, and this has led to the creation of a “superstate with self-eating structure” and with low living standards. The main cause of our inflation is not the excess of money but the deficit of goods and a subnormal rise in retail prices. We should not impose limits on wages but should raise the limit to which it may rise. The real production of goods and services must serve as this boundary. It is necessary to begin large structural changes in the national economy in order to overcome the crisis of insufficient production in subdivision II. The attempts to “tie” the excess money possessed by the population by selling them flats, issuing loans, selling land plots and building materials proved to be unsuccessful. The partial privatization and the sale of the means of production to private owners have not entailed the “movement of the frozen money.” The people are now trying to turn the accumulated money into real valuables such as cars, furniture, expensive china, antiquary articles, technical equipment, flats, and gold and silver wares. They rent land plots and build cottages. The building materials for cottages are in short supply. The rise of prices for foodstuffs and the amount of nitrates in them increased the interest of people in land for growing their own ecologically pure vegetables. The Soviet accumulated roubles intensively seek stable form. The general cause of the accumulation of huge amounts of money is the disbalance of goods production and the money collected by people. We call this phenomenon a “crisis not of overproduction but of underproduction.” A considerable number of our people are inclined to accumulate money. This is a new and indisputable fact for us. The increase in the accumulation of money up to a certain bound (the inclination to accumulating money) testifies to the welfare of people. It seems to me that the quantity of 0.15-0.30 (the accumulation of 15-30 out of every 100 collected roubles) is a suitable form of inclination of our people to accumulation. However, actually our inclination to accumulation is compulsory, it is caused by the absence of goods to buy and, consequently, exceeds all reasonable bounds. All the same, the principal inference is as follows: it is not that fishermen have accumulated much money but that they cannot buy goods they need and get necessary services. The general unsatisfied demand can be regarded as the quantitative indicator of social and economic ineffectiveness of the structure of the national economy of the Russian Federation. 7. The social and economic crisis that enveloped Russia did not leave out the fish industry. What do I think to be the principal moments in the conception of the transition to the market economy? 1 5 4
