means of production. We could see how in these countries the efficiency of production kept falling down. The structure of productive forces constantly becoming more complicated requires complication, rather than simplification up to uniformity, of social and economic structures. The epoch of a complete sway of some one form of property sank into oblivion. Within the limits of the variety of forms of property, we can observe their free competition. Any one form of property cannot correspond in equal measure to large, medium, or small industries. Quite a definite, but not any, form of property can ensure the highest efficiency. Thus, a large-scale industry functions successfully in the framework of the state or joint-stock form of property, the joint-stock or cooperative form of property corresponds to medium industries, and the private property based on personal or hired labor is typical of small enterprises. The practical experience prompts the choice of the form of property most adequate to the state of the productive forces. Undoubtedly, the state property occupies its distinctive place in any compound economy. The state property is of national importance since it makes it possible to carry out a macroregulation, to form a strategy of economic development, to optimize the structure of the common reproduction according to the criterion of the highest efficiency, oriented, in the final analysis, towards the all-round development of the social sphere, towards people and their needs. As we know, the overcoming of the deformation of the state property followed the way of approbation of different models of cost accounting in search for the best model that would allow for the most complete realization of subjects of the state property, which are labor associations represented by various state institutions as an economic center and the personnel of state enterprises. This is the gist of the problem, and it is not clear, therefore, why the transition of enterprises to a complete cost accounting is interpreted as the process of denationalization. Cost accounting is inculcated into state enterprises with the aim of preserving the state property and not its destruction or restriction. The purpose of preservation of the state property is especially vivid at the first stages of the leasing relations appearance. Quite unambiguously, the state was a “superior owner” of the means of production which leased basic production assets to the personnel of state enterprises on certain conditions. But in connection with a rent, a question arose of the possibility of buying out the means of production owned by the state. As distinct from the state and joint-stock property, its social nature can be clearly seen as the property of all and everyone at the same time. It is quite obvious that this is the property not only of all but also of everyone, the fact that is substantiated by the individual ownership of a block of shares and the consequent economic form of realization of thejoint-stock property, i.e., the income accrued for a share in the form of a dividend. In this sense, all stockholders are equal in their rights here although the shares may be of different kinds and the individual blocks of shares may also be different. As was noted, the right of a free use of shares makes it possible even for a common stockholder to influence the fate of a joint-stock company without really managing i t This is a considerable advantage of the joint-stock form of property. 6 5
