continue increasing salary and wages in that manner, it would immediately cause the creation of an imbalance in the consumer market because of the rise in additional demand for goods and services. Under these conditions, the balance between the supply and the demand can be attained only at the expense of the rise in prices, and the society then, as a whole, will not be in a position to achieve higher standards of living. Only those will win who will get the facilities higher than those in the group of average rise of wages. And that is why, the miners’ strike was not approved by the representatives of other professions, mechanical engineers, for instance, who did not demand higher wages from the government. Consequently, as long as there is no supply of goods meeting the daily requirements, no wage rise can be a factor of the market motivation of labor. The experience gained of civilized countries testifies to the fact that the struggle for working places both of the staff as a whole and an individual worker produces a much pronounced effect on the collective formation of the market motivation of labor. This definitely is connected with the survival of an enterprise on account of an increase in the labor input of its every worker, though not formal as it was earlier, but a true one based on the financial interest in the very existence of the working place, its mutual exactions, and the eradication of parasitical attitudes. It looks, unemployment will play very soon the role of an exact controller of the power and ability of a workman. In conjunction with the coming threat of bankruptcy, unemployment will force the enterprises to get rid of those people only imitating activity and constantly demanding higher productive labor from different categories of the personnel, finally creating an economic compulsion to forced labor. It should be pointed out that the formation of market economy in the country manifests itself, first of all, in the formation of a regular market of labor forces. It is not just by chance, therefore, that practically simultaneously with stock exchanges and auctions, without fixed regulations, there appeared collective methods of struggle for securing social protection in the form of independent trade unions. The strengthening of market motivation of research and labor incentive will be the most important factors dictating the necessity of increasing the volume of output of production, especially consumer goods, and create prerequisites for a real rise of wages. The most complicated problems are centered around prices. Perhaps, no sphere of economic activity (except the problem of property) is subjected to such a radical reconsideration as price formation. Prices must become a measure of costing, of the equivalent exchange of the forms of activity, the support of all reproductive processes. It will be the prices that will terminate the output of production at unprofitable enterprises. Prices will force the enterprises to carry out structural reconstruction. It is time to introduce common sense into economic processes, support only profitable productions, and to try hard to make every normal enterprise profit sharing. As the patriarch of the American industry, Henry Ford once wrote, the success in production only depends on the art of the producer to serve the consumer giving him what he wants. He will be pleased with high quality goods at low prices. And the producer that can give the consumer a better quality at lower prices is sure to head the industry whatever goods he produces. 5 3
