THE KEY CHALLENGES FOR MODERN CAPITALISTIC ECONOMY: ECONOMIC-SOCIOLOGICAL AND POLITICAL-ECONOMIC THEORIES

Abstract

Challenges of the modern capitalist economy, due to their seriousness, depth and
longevity, are an extremely attractive and richly creative productive challenge for the
contemporary economic-sociological and political-economic thought. The real approach to
these challenges cannot actually be divided into strictly disciplinary-economic, economicsociological,
political-economic… The approach that will lead to scientific and professional
knowledge that in a real way and at a completely relevant level will enable the establishment
of a thematic and conceptual basis for appropriate and optimal functional overcoming of
those challenges. The strictly economic approach, i.e. the scientific-theoretical and scientificmethodological
approach of economics in its narrower definition as a science, certainly cannot
and will definitely not lead to achieving the required quality of scientific and professional
knowledge about the nature of modern challenges of capitalist economy and of capitalist
social relations as a whole. Thus, as a rule, all the most relevant empirical and theoretical
researches on the contemporary challenges of the capitalist economy and capitalist social
relations in general are multidisciplinary. At the same time, a common place, more precisely
a research subject and research knowledge in those researches, for example the researches of
Piketty, Stiglitz, Mazzucato, Saez and many others, is the treatment of the unequal distribution
of global and national treasures. This distribution is empirically measured through the Gini
coefficient, as the most essential and fundamental challenge of modern capitalist economic
and social relations. In a kind of, i.e. almost inevitable communion with the problem of
state interventionism. His resuscitation, the resuscitation of his scope, of this power, of his
breakthrough through the totally of capitalist economic and social relations.
