Description
Over the past three decades, research into the dynamics of the commercialisation
of the Russian economy has made it possible to reveal four periods in the development
of this process: a period of accelerated commercialisation, a period of hypercommercialisation,
an incipient period of de-commercialisation, and an anticipated period of post-commercialisation. The article analyses the peculiar features and most
characteristic phenomena of each of these periods, formulating the main trends
of economic policy, trends aimed at overcoming a lack of balance in the relationship
between the commercial and non-commercial sectors of the economy. The contours are
noted of tendencies in economic theory that break out of the confines of the modern
mainstream, and that are oriented toward making quantitative measurements in the
field of non-commercial goods. Underlying these tendencies is an effective synthesis
of culturology and economics, that opens up the prospect of forming a system for the
value-based measurement of goods, taking into account their cultural significance.
