  • On the role of the state in the conditions market economy. From the work of the modern Russian economist A. N. Porokhovsky “Russian market model: the path to implementation.”
    All agents of the economy are united by a single market space of the country, where the same rules of the game for everyone are monitored and supported by special state institutions. .. The market itself is not able to support competition. Maintaining and stimulating competition in the economic sphere is the function of the state. Fighting monopoly and supporting competition, the state is both within the market model and outside it, guaranteeing stability market system generally. Supporting stability plays no less a role than protecting competition. From the verified, active role of the relevant state institutions both the favorable social climate in the country and the sustainability of financial system, and...expanding the production of public goods - especially in the sphere of services, education, science, healthcare, culture, - creating a legal framework in the business sphere. .. Therefore, even in a theoretical market model, the state plays the most important role - preserving the market system itself by expressing common, or public, interests. Not a single private business, no matter what gigantic size no matter what he has achieved, by nature he cannot ignore his own interests and shoulder the interests of the entire society. However, the state can only cope with such responsibilities if it is part of a democratic society. In such a society, along with the market mechanism, a democratic mechanism of voter control over the state apparatus has been established, and the judicial system provides legal protection to all citizens in accordance with the law.

    Globalization has deep roots in history, and yet it is a phenomenon of the 20th century. From this point of view, our century can also be defined as the century of globalization. Therefore, the lessons of the 20th century are especially significant and important for understanding its prospects.

    Historians and politicians will argue for a long time about the rich heritage of the outgoing century, but its ideological and political results are unlikely to be revised in the foreseeable future. Briefly, they boil down to the following: human rights are fundamental, democracy is stronger than tyranny, the market is more effective than a command economy, openness is better than self-isolation. This system of values ​​and attitudes, the creator and active propagandist of which was historically the West, has become widespread and recognized in modern world. .. For the first time in history, the absolute majority of people living on Earth are gradually developing a common understanding of the basic principles of life.

    Just like one hundred and two hundred years ago, the end of the century is marked by a new scientific and technological revolution. Intelligence, knowledge, and technology are becoming the most important economic assets. In the advanced countries that are members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, more than half of the gross domestic product is created in intellectually intensive production. The information revolution, based on connecting computers with telecommunication networks, is radically transforming human existence. It compresses time and space, opens borders, allows you to establish contacts anywhere globe. It transforms individuals into global citizens. ..

    Among the impressive range of problems that require the combined efforts of the inhabitants of the Earth, the state of the environment undoubtedly comes first. Today it is so alarming that the survival of humanity as a highly developed, civilized community is in question. The situation is aggravated by the great inertia of processes in the biosphere. Stopping and reversing destructive trends requires the mobilization of enormous resources over many years.

    The unprecedented intensity of connections between people, individual groups, nations, states, and civilizations makes individuals humanity and opens up universal space for the forces of good and evil. Globalization is undermining the foundations of “island consciousness.” With all the desire in the Modern world, it is impossible for a long time, and especially forever, to isolate yourself from global problems. If the world becomes interdependent, then it means that it is also mutually vulnerable.

    (V. Kuvaldin)

  • Part C.
    Taxes appear with the emergence of the state, since they represent the main source of state revenue. The state must have the means to perform its functions, the main of which are:
    determination of the rules for conducting economic activity “rules of the game” (antitrust legislation, supporting the development of the private sector of the economy, protecting property rights, protecting freedom of competition, protecting consumer rights, etc.);
    maintaining economic stability (fighting inflation and unemployment, ensuring economic growth);
    production of public goods (ensuring security, law and order, education, healthcare, development of fundamental science);
    social policy (social security for the poor through income redistribution, payment of pensions, scholarships, unemployment benefits, etc.)
    struggle
    with negative external effects (environmental policy, etc.).
    The means to pay for government expenses are, first of all, taxes. Since the services of the state (which, of course, cannot be provided free of charge) are used by all members of society, the state collects fees for these services from all citizens of the country. Thus, taxes are the main instrument for redistributing income among members of society and are aimed at reducing income inequality.
    The tax system includes:
    subject of taxation (who must pay tax)
    object of taxation (what is taxed)
    tax rates (the percentage at which the tax amount is calculated) The amount at which the tax is paid is called the tax base.
    To calculate the tax amount (T), the tax base (BT) should be multiplied by the tax rate (t):
    T = Bt H t
    The principles of taxation were formulated by A. Smith in his great work “An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations,” published in 1776. According to Smith, the tax system should be:
    fair (it should not enrich the rich and make the poor poor);
    understandable (the taxpayer must know why he pays this or that tax and why he pays it);
    convenient (taxes should be collected when and in a way that is convenient for the taxpayer, not the taxpayer)
    inexpensive (the amount of tax revenue should significantly exceed the cost of collecting taxes).
    The modern tax system is based on the principles of fairness and efficiency. The tax system must ensure the efficient distribution and use of resources at the micro level (individual producer level). Equity should be vertical (meaning that people with different incomes should pay unequal taxes) and horizontal (meaning that people with equal incomes should pay equal taxes).
    C1. How does the author present the main function of taxes?

  • Make a plan for the text. To do this, highlight the main semantic fragments of the text and title each of them.
    What do human rights represent? At what two levels of the legal system are they recorded?
    Human rights are given to all people, in accordance with national and international legal norms, equal opportunities to satisfy their basic needs, ensuring the development of the individual and his full participation in the life of society. Human rights reflect the minimum set of life benefits in the civil, political and socio-economic spheres.
    The most generally accepted is the list of rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the main UN human rights document. Of the civil and political rights (Articles 3–21 of the Declaration), the most relevant at present are the right to own property (Article 17), the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion (Article 18), the right to freedom of opinion and their free expression (Article 19). Among the socio-economic rights (Articles 22–27 of the Declaration), attention is most often paid to the right to social security (Article 22), as well as the right to work and free choice of work, subject to equal pay for equal work, fair and satisfactory remuneration , providing worthy of a person existence, as well as the right to create trade unions (Article 23).
    Along with the most general list of such rights recorded in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, there are other lists reflected in the constitutional documents of each state. They list the rights that, according to national legislation, citizens of a particular state have, reflect national specifics and may differ markedly from those recorded in the Declaration. For example, the American Bill of Rights includes the right to bear arms (the Second Amendment to the US Constitution), which most countries in the world do not have.
    The protection of human rights faces great challenges in the modern world. The main problem is related to the fact that the concept of human rights was born in Western European culture and therefore finds an ambiguous response in countries of other civilizations. In modern Western European culture society is understood as a collection of many social groups with their own special beliefs, which they can follow completely freely, as long as it does not harm others. In other cultures, the ideal is not society as a “bundle” of social groups, but society as a monolith, where everyone shares a single ideology. The basic institutions of these civilizations are not individualistic, but collectivist values. Therefore, demands to provide all citizens of these countries with the same rights as citizens of countries Western Europe And North America, are often perceived as interference in internal affairs.
