State and economy

Free economy and state power ensure the existence of each other. But at different times their influence is different. Strong power crushes the economy, subordinating its activities to a single state will. Money in such a state begins to play a secondary role in relation to public administration. But when the unlimited centralized state power weakens, then money becomes the source of power, or rather, free economic relations and personal obligations. The economy and state power are gradually merging into one whole, but in themselves they have a different nature of origin and should be separated from each other.

Government

The strength of state power, as well as any power, lies in its own single moral position, supporting its own and against all others. This moral stance comes from the very nature of the power, and it tends to be strengthened when combined with another power. And such an association occurs either on the basis of kinship, friendship, religion, worldview, etc. The important thing here is that feelings of support towards each other separate their own from all other people. In any even small collectives, a close-knit minority dominates the majority.

A different morality is always applied to the rest of the majority than to their own. From this affinity of forces comes any power, including state power. In a sense, the state is a continuation of kindred feelings for each other.

Under the state in general or the homeland, we mean, first of all, people close to us, whom we are ready to protect, just like they are us. State power is always a kind of state within a state.

State power degrades over time if it is limited to biological affinity. Therefore, in all modern states there are state institutions or even ideologies that allow one way or another to renew people in power with new, more capable management. In particular, such an institution is democracy. Although the existence of this institution in the state does not mean at all that it will work as it should. And indeed, regardless of kinship, update the elite. For this, laws are not enough; for this, a working ideology or tradition is needed that would unite people on its own basis.

No matter how strong the state power is, it is not capable of creating a useful product. The authorities can take it away, for example, from the people, protect it from others and distribute it competently, but not create it in any way. But the production of products or economic activity, in turn, most likely due to the nature of man, is impossible without the order that organizes power.

The essence of state power is not only to create, but to own the common, to determine the right of ownership for all others so that it remains state, that is, common. This kind of common things should include land, water, air, minerals, in general, everything that has already been created by nature.

Economy

Economic success inevitably lies in the realm of competing against each other, as in the realm of quality, that is, who is better at managing resources and making the most sought-after product. Unlike the authorities, where support is required. Economic activity is primarily based on the ability to work not with people, but with the subject material area.

The simple essence of economics is the performance of specific work, somehow the creation of better goods and services with a limited amount of resources.

In economics, for example, in a family business, there may be elements of family relationships, although they rarely lead to good results. There is a need for trust in trading, but this trust is not so necessary with a well-functioning contract law and a well-drafted contract. In the enterprise itself, the organization of people is reduced to instructions. Thus, the ethical position of a person in the economy has the same meaning as the competence to understand certain practical issues in politics.

The very essence of labor implies, in the end, not a direct impact on people, but the creation of goods. It can even be said that economic activity in itself divides people, as people become a kind of tool in the processing of material resources into useful goods. In general, unlike the authorities, it is possible to completely eliminate a person from the economy, replacing him with robots, if the result is not lost.

But economic activity cannot or, rather, should not replace power, that is, the right to own, since owning any resource eliminates the factor of competition for this resource, which in turn worsens the results of economic activity.

Creative activity

Separate from the usual economy, connected with the material side of life, one can single out a variety of creative activities that are directly related to influencing people, but are not state power. I am engaged in creative activity, any scientist, artist, writer, etc.

Creative activity does not create goods from resources. It, like the state, exists through an ordinary economy associated with the processing of resources. Strictly speaking, only that which is connected with the processing of resources into goods and services can be called an economy, and everything else exists only through this economic activity.

Creative activity, unlike economic activity, is not necessary, and unlike power, that is, the desire to own, is not inherent in every person. It is based on the spontaneity of creativity, operates through the existence of creative people, if they are not, then in essence there is no such activity. The creative economy influences state power, helps to develop the conventional economy, but is in no way able to replace it, since it is not able to satisfy our basic needs.

State and economy

The state assumes a common goal, somehow protection from external threats, the economy is aimed at satisfying individual needs. The essence of the state is to unite people among themselves, so that they act together. The essence of the economy, such that everyone would find a job and be useful to everyone.

The ideal relationship between power and economy is that the government would organize only the right to own, that is, in general, own all the resources, providing them to the economy and at the same time not engage in economic activity itself, neither at the official level in the form of state enterprises, nor privately for government officials, it should be prohibited.

In turn, economic activity should not influence the state power, pursuing the interests of individual individuals. Of course, it does not follow from this that the state should not be interested in the development of the economy, but just for this it should create equal opportunities for everyone, and not primarily provide for itself, its enterprises.

The government, owning resources, should distribute the benefits from their use as evenly as possible, on the one hand, on the other hand, the government should set and achieve national goals.
