Chapter 3 Methodological Problems Connected with Radical Changes in the Economic Mechanism at the Present Stage of Development The variety of forms of property that appeared lately is the cause and the consequence of the aggravation of the state of the fish industrial complex in Russia. The state property is considered pragmatically rather than theoretically. The scales and prospects of its extension are strictly controlled, and are regarded as a phenomenon generated by objective circumstances. The state property can be recognized as a necessary form in two cases; first, when in the process of development of the productive forces there appear forms of activity, which can only function as common ones, — these forms of activity and their material bases, namely, the means of information, the infrastructure (industrial and social), the protection of environment, the fundamental science and the science-intensive industries must be managed by state administrative organs, and, second, when some help from the state is needed for the sanation of unprofitable nonstate enterprises. We know of some facts of nationalization of unprofitable enterprises or even the whole industries with their successive re-privatization. In this case, the state plays the part of a committee for the management of affairs of subjects of the nonstate forms of property. This division of property makes it possible to reveal not only the objective natural and historic tendency in the development of production relations in the dialectical relationship with the productive forces but also to disclose the contradictions within this process. But to distinguish only between two forms of property, the state and the private property, is to simplify the theoretical conception of the objective nature of subjects of different social and economic forms. This is a superficial notion. 3.1. The Variety of Forms of Property and Their Optimal Relations in the Fish Industry Complex The scientific approach requires a thorough study of the notion of the content of the property of means of production as an economic phenomenon, of the evolution of forms of not only private but also public property, on the regularities of the development of each of them, of the inevitability of a simultaneous existence of different forms of private and public property, and, under these conditions, of their proportion in the mechanism of interaction. There is not yet a strict division line between the private and the public property. Their content and evolution are not strictly defined, and, therefore, it is impossible to distinguish between different 6 3
