Abstract

Настоящее исследование посвящено методологическим аспектам Теории опекаемых благ, модификации двух либеральных принципов австрийской школы,инкорпорированных в основное русло экономической теории, – «методологического субъективизма» и «методологического индивидуализма», а также стандартной аксиомы «гомогенности экономических агентов». В работе рассмотрены некоторые модифика- ции указанных предпосылок и их различные комбинации, составляющие основу ряда теорий, обосновывающих государственную активность. Анализ основных предпосылок теории общественных и мериторных благ, концепции либертарианского патернализма позволил автору предположить, что с точки зрения методологии эти теоретические построения являются частными случаями теории опекаемых благ, фундамент которой составляют: «методологический субъективизм», «методологический релятивизм» и «принцип гетерогенности». В теории опекаемых благ они интерпретированы: в виде предположения о том, что каждый человек в меру своего понимания, опираясь на собственные ценности, действует в предлагаемых обстоятельствах субъективно оптимально; в виде принципа комплементарности полезностей, в соответствии с которым допускается наличие группового интереса наряду с индивидуальными интересами членов группы; в виде существования двух, не сводимых другу к другу, ветвей формирования общественного интереса, рыночной и политической. The present study focuses on the methodological aspects of the Theory of patronized goods,modifications of two liberal principles of the Austrian school, incorporated into mainstream economic theory - "methodological subjectivism" and “methodological individualism”, as well as the standard axiom of "homogeneity of economic agents". The paper discusses some modifications to these assumptions and their various combinations that form the basis of a number of theories that justify state activity. Analysis of the basic premises of the theory of public goods and merit goods, and the concept of libertarian paternalism allowed the author to suggest that from the point of view of methodology, these theoretical constructions are particular cases of the Theory of patronized goods based on "methodological subjectivism", "methodological relativism" and "the principle of heterogeneity". In the Theory of patronized goods they are integrated in the form of supposition that every person depending on the level of his understanding and his value judgments acts subjectively optimally in the given circumstances; in the principle of utility complementarity,according to which there may be a group interest alongside with the individual interests of the group members; and in the form of two irreducible to each other branches of formation of public interest – market and political.
