Transformation as a Subject of Economic Theory

The author's basic thesis is that economics, when interpreted in sufficiently broad terms, can meaningfully contribute to interpreting facts and figures, provide an analytical framework for arranging them and even suggest some lines of action for policymaking. Meanwhile, doing so economics - like any other discipline - can not aspire for exclusiveness. The subject of analysis is a multidimensional, and in many respects open-ended, socio-economic process where several approaches are justified.. Thus while sociological, economic and political science or social anthropology visions may well never coincide, it might well not reflect more than various viewpoints, as of a same nude, painted from the back or from the side, or face-to-face. Thus in what follows the author adopt a consciously one-sided, narrow economic approach and try to figure out what this area of research has to contribute to understanding systemic change, and vice versa, what new impetus can be derived from the experience of this area for general economics.
