TRANSFORMATION OF ECONOMIC SOCIALIZATION AS A FORM OF SOCIAL ACTION IN WARTIME AND POST-WAR DEVELOPMENT OF UKRAINIAN ECONOMY

Abstract

Economic socialization as a form of social action within the Weberian approach to its interpretation is considered as such that can both determine the rationality and efficiency of economic activity and be characterized by traditionality. If economic socialization, being a form of social action, has features of rationality and efficiency of economic activity, then it involves both the development of the economic environment and compensation for its market failures. The individual in this case acts on the principles of ratio. And if the characteristics of traditionality are present, economic socialization is dominated by those features of social action that are the result of previous skills and traditions. For achieving constructiveness in economic activity, the level of trust between its agents is important, therefore both the level of trust among the population of Ukraine as a whole and trust of the population and non-governmental organizations in the management apparatus that performs the functions of the state are of particular significance.

In Ukraine, economic socialization as a form of social action is shown to be dominated by traditions amid a low trust, which further reduces the effectiveness of the already rather slow 30-year transformation of economic socialization in the direction of rationality and efficiency of economic activity on the principles of individualism. The limitations of the possibility of using the latter for social organization of life are proven, the expediency of rational conformism, the prevalence of which in Ukraine can ensure unity of views on the country's future accession to the European Union, is substantiated. In turn, such unity of views among the population of Ukraine is the consolidating force that will contribute to the successful implementation of the cohesion policy.
