the transition to market relations. This is also the point of view of foreign specialists who study the economy of Russia. 13. The development of private property on a business scale must be encouraged in the field of production of the fish industry where the functioning of large state enterprises and organizations is economically inexpedient and, sometimes, impossible. The process of denationalization of property must be carried out with due account of the economic and political consequences of the solution to the problem of property not only as the means of production but also as the nonreproducible conditions and factors of production to which belong the moving resources of the sea economic zone and of the inner waters of Russia. In the interests of the present and future generations, these resources must remain as the federal property. To define the trends and intensity of shifts of the national economic proportions, we must fully take into account the “demand for goods, services and resources as a function of incomes and prices” so far new to us. The work on building functions of this kind requires reliable statistical data concerning the behavior of subjects of economic relations in accordance with their profits and the level of prices. To estimate the tendency of variation of the demand for consumer goods, we must widely use the aggregate coefficients of elasticity of the consumer expenditures in accordance with prices and incomes. We can distinguish between four groups of products. The first group of products the demand for which is less sensitive to the variation in financial parameters includes agricultural production and foodstuffs, electric power and fuel. The second group, in which a certain reaction of demand to incomes and prices is felt, includes goods produced by the light industry. The third group, in which this reaction is even higher, includes the production of chemical, forestry, wood-working and wood-pulp and paper industries and that of building materials. The last group, which is the most sensitive to the variation in prices and incomes includes the production of metallurgy, petroleum-refining industry and machine-building. 14. The establishment of market relations presupposes the formation of separate but closely interacting markets of goods and services (consumer and investment), of financial services (including the movement of securities and credits), and of manpower. In this case, the classical laws governing market relations become active. The change of the demand is in inverse proportion to the dynamics of incomes. The prices are formed not only in accordance with costs of production, but also in accordance with the ratio of the demand and supply. The demand for goods, services, and production factors is limited by the available means of payment; a free movement of capital and manpower is carried out When the conditions for functioning of market relations are being determined, the standard of living is the most important criterion of the correctness of the chosen economic course. There must be no long and deep falls in the welfare of the population not only because of the considerations of humaneness but also because of the economic considerations since they undermine the stimuli for the productive activity and lead to the degradation of the economy. Consequently, special protective mechanisms are needed. The system of social support must protect the working people from the devaluation of their personal incomes in connection with the growth of prices for consumer goods, help them in the case of 1 6 4
