Abstract:

The goal is to achieve human development through the printed media. Objectives – to study the socio-economic aspects of coordination of the activities of segmental components in the publishing industry; to find out and substantiate the strategic subjectivity of the state institutional regulation of the publishing industry of the national economy. Methodology. System-structural approach – in the study of theoretical and methodological aspects of ensuring the development strategy of the publishing industry of the national economy in transformational conditions; comparative analysis – for comparing objects and phenomena, identifying the general and special, for studying the causes of changes that have occurred, identifying development trends. For the implementation of the scientific topic: "Development of norms of consumption and norms of material waste in the production of textbooks and educational/teaching aids" 0122U002363. Results. The results of the latest pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus and the active phase of the military confrontation have a decisive impact on the national economy and human development of our country. The current focus on agricultural development provides partial stabilization of the situation by maintaining an adequate level of food security and increasing food exports. In the long term, it is envisaged to use the existing advantages and revise the agrarian and construction policies, by coordinating them to create conditions for improving the human development situation in the country. To form the necessary theoretical basis for such changes, the definition of the term "state agricultural policy" was clarified and the list of strategic goals of the state agricultural policy was expanded. The current direction of construction policy is critically characterized. The essence of three dominants (continuation of land reform; decentralization; transformational changes in the development of agriculture), which should be taken into account when harmonizing agricultural and construction policies, is considered. The model of the coordination mechanism of agricultural and construction policy regulation was developed in order to create conditions for sustainable development of rural areas, which, accordingly, should contribute to the progress of human development.

Abstract:

Analysis of the advantages of using the “maker education + SPOC” teaching model in college political economics courses from the perspective of maker education and SPOC reveals that this model can improve the teaching quality of political economics courses and cultivate students’ innovation ability and problem solving skills. Based on the offline teaching system, the model of applying “maker education + SPOC” in college political economics courses was designed from the aspects of teaching environment, teaching process and teaching evaluation, and Shandong Normal College in Shandong Province was took as a case to carry out a study on the teaching practice and teaching effect of the model. It was found that the model can positively influence the teaching effect of college political economics courses, and opinions and suggestions were put forward on the practice of the model.

Abstract:

In a recent review essay in this journal (25.2), Timothy Morton considered a number of works of literary criticism on the centrality of commodification in Victorian literature and culture. This essay will look at the intersection of work in which economists and literary critics have interrogated Victorian economics and their afterlife: models of production and reproduction (classical political economy and Malthusian population theory), consumption (the calculation of pleasure, happiness, and taste), labor (as a theory of value), value (in relation to price), “Economic Man” (as productive pursuer of gain or, after the 1870s, rational chooser among scarcity), and so forth. This work, which has brought into dialogue economists, literary and cultural critics, and historians and philosophers of science, has flourished in the past decade, and this essay will focus on aspects of it relevant to the study of Victorian Britain.

Abstract:

The high quality of life in the modern sense is directly related to energy consumption and associated with the provision of «clean» food products and environment, comfortable housing, public and private transport. Increasing the availability of energy for the developing countries allows their residents to live longer and more comfortably. At the same time, in the developed European countries with high quality of life, energy consumption is decreasing due to the implementation of energy efficiency and energy saving policies. The Human Development Index, the world’s best-known and most widely used integrated assessment of quality of life, does not include energy consumption indicators. The aim of our research is to study the relationship between energy consumption and quality of life, and prove the need to consider energy consumption indicators in order to improve the methodology framework for assessing quality of life. Using the method of cluster analysis, 77 countries of the world are grouped according to a set of indicators that characterize income, energy consumption, use of renewable energy sources, and CO2 emissions. As a result, the relationship between the level of human development, which is a universal characteristic of quality of life, and these indicators was identified and evaluated. It has been proved that the most prosperous countries in terms of quality of life and energy use are those in which relatively low indicators of primary energy consumption and CO2 emission are combined with high incomes and human development level. The progressive structure of energy consumption ensures the achievement of a higher quality of living, while high energy consumption is not a sufficient condition for this. Against the background of low levels of total primary energy consumption and GDP per capita, CO2 emissions, as well as a low share of renewable energy in total energy consumption, high quality of life is present mainly in the «new» EU member states, which provide it through rational energy consumption. The average level of human development is inherent in a group of countries of the former USSR (which includes Ukraine), as well as some countries in Latin America, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. At the same time, countries such as China and South Korea are reducing energy consumption owing to technological progress and have a positive dynamics of human development indicators. Instead, low levels of energy consumption in the former Soviet Union and Latin America are due to insufficient sustainability of economic and social development, human development in particular. The obtained results substantiate the need to improve the methodology for assessing the quality of life taking into consideration energy consumption indicators.

Abstract:

Organic food consumption is associated with “citizen-consumer” practice, which is an act of promoting different aspects of social and ecological responsibility and the integration of ethical considerations in daily practices such as eating. This article analyzes aspects of organic food consumption in Israel and the symbolic meanings given to it by its consumers. The study shows how practices attributed to ethical eating culture are used in identity construction, social status manifestation, and as a means to demonstrate openness to global cultural trends. Organic food consumption is carried out as part of a symbolic use of ethical values and its adaptation to the local Israeli cultural context. In addition, organic food consumption patterns are revealed as fitting the cultural logic of globalization, which spread in the last decades in Israel. Analysis of the socio-cultural aspects related to organic food consumption points to the polysemy embodied in the term citizen-consumer and shows how the actual implementation of this term in Israel is based on the assimilation of cosmopolitan meanings.

Abstract:

Political economy studies control and survival in social life. It is simply defined as the study of production and exchange and how these activities relate with the state and its laws. It is interested in how politics interacts with economics. Extensive essays and texts on the political economy of the film industry in general, and of Hollywood in particular abound. Such studies on Nollywood, the Nigerian film industry, remains scarce. But in recent times, authors, both indigenous and foreign, are beginning to give increased attention to the struggle for power and control within the industry. This study is interested in how economic activities in Nollywood interact with the law and government. It searches existent scholarship to interrogate what has been discussed on aspects of the political economy of the industry. It discusses these studies under production, distribution and consumption. It reviews other important industry matters like policies, interrogating briefly the place of MOPICON in the political economy of Nollywood. This review forms an important document for research on Nollywood, to curb and forestall consistent repetition of studies within Nollywood scholarship.

Abstract:

The emergence and development of the concept of value in terms of certain historical stages of economics are investigated in this paper. It is also investigated that the concept of value is fundamental problem in economics and primary source for understanding the purpose and motives of economic entities, areas of consumption, distribution and the exchange of their resources and income. The objective of the investigation, is to assess on the basis of comparative analysis of the methodology of the main provisions and conclusions of existing concepts of value, their significance for the process of learning about the functionality and relationships of economic entities in the current economy. While investigating the conceptual positions of economists-scientists concerning the theory of value at different historical stages of its existence and development, theoretical general scientific research methods (formalization, synthesis, abstraction and logical generalization) are used. The evolution of the theory of value, from ancient times until such historical schools as mercantilism, physiocracy, English political economics, French classical bourgeois political economics, Marxism, and marginalism is considered in this paper. The study of the theory of value in economics makes it possible to determine that the main scientific paradigms prevailed in the theory of value are the labor theory of value and the theory of marginal utility. The problem of preserving the potential of traditional theories of value, and the preconditions on which they are based on, is considered. In addition, the logical and historical relationship between the concepts of value is investigated; the impact of different concepts of value on the process of the market economy relationship understanding is evaluated. The practical value of scientific work is that clearer understanding of the concept of value at the theoretical level makes it possible to solve practical problems in determining the amount of costs, their structure, and methods of calculation for businesses. It is investigated that the concept of value remains relevant in modern economics, as it is the basis for understanding such important categories as price, production costs, profits, etc., and the laws of value determine the behaviour in market economy. It is found that the value, covering all centres of the economy, determines the motives and goals of economic entities; promotes the efficient distribution and use of resources and income, sustainable growth of production, its balance; affects the whole complex of economic relations arising in the process of social reproduction of material and spiritual goods, their production, exchange, distribution and consumption.

Abstract:

AbstractThis article makes use of two different data sets on Turkey to explore the relationship between the tax structure and issues such as democratic representation, citizenship rights, and poverty and social exclusion. The first of these data sets is the extensive Household Consumption Survey (2003) by the Turkish Statistical Institute (TURKSTAT). This extensive survey data allows a very comprehensive quantitative analysis of the tax burden on the consumption baskets of households in different income groups, as well as in different regions of Turkey. The second data set incorporates qualitative data on Turkish citizens' views and attitudes towards different aspects of the Turkish tax system—such as its fairness (justice), transparency, and efficiency in generating funds for public activities—obtained through focus group meetings and in-depth interviews conducted with citizen groups and various stakeholders in cities in different regions in Turkey. The quantitative findings presented in the study clearly reveal that, if anything, taxes are expected to exacerbate the problem of inequality and poverty in Turkey. Heavily relying on regressive consumption taxes results in the poor paying a disproportionate amount of their income as indirect taxes, more so for those in Eastern and Southeastern Anatolia where poverty is more extreme. On the other hand, the qualitative part reveals that ordinary citizens find the current tax system highly unfair and feel that they receive very little in terms of public services in return for the taxes they pay. In spite of the merits attributed in theory to taxation as a means to provide services and thereby legitimize the state, the payment of taxes is met with considerable reluctance. Most of this reluctance is attributable to factors such as the citizens' inability to pay, and a lack of clarity with respect to the obligations and reasons for paying. It also emerges that the unwillingness to pay is a protest against the degradation of public services and the perceptions of unfairness, corruption, and other administrative failings.

Abstract:

Uniqlo has recently been challenging the paradigm behind the phenomenal success of Zara: while Zara has been all about fashion, Uniqlo claims to be all about functionality. Here I examine this corporate narrative within the context of a new paradigm in cultural sociology that brings to the fore the material and functional aspects of clothing consumption (as opposed to its fashion and identity-related aspects). This case study shows that we might be able to understand the contemporary consumer better, if we study the corporate narratives of our most popular retailers of fashion. After all, their survival depends upon a correct understanding of how exactly today’s consumers behave.
