SCIENTIFIC HERITAGE OF ANATOLIY POKRYTAN IN THE LIGHT OF MODERN PROBLEMS OF ECONOMIC THEORY


The most important aspects of the scientific heritage of the outstanding domestic scientist-economist Anatoliy Pokrytan are revealed. It is shown that the scientific developments of A. Pokrytan and representatives of his school made an important contribution to the methodology of economic theory. It is substantiated that the research of scientists on the problems of property, the theory of social reproduction, methodological problems of economic theory are in demand today in the study of the problems of the Ukrainian economy and the world economic system.
According to A. Pokrytan, in the process of scientific research it is impossible to study the structure of the economic system without taking into account its genesis, and vice versa, the study of genesis is possible only on the basis of knowledge of its structure. The genesis and structure of production relations are closely intertwined with the unity of the historical and the logical in economic theory. It is shown that the combination of logical and historical forms of cognition allowed A. Pokrytan in the conditions of independent Ukraine to give not only an objective assessment of the past economic system, but also to comprehend the nature of market reforms in the national economy and identify the problems that must be resolved in order to overcome the negative trends that arose in the process of formation of the market economy. It is substantiated that this methodological approach makes it possible to single out a much more complex than traditional (liberalization, privatization) set of transformational systems.
It is shown that the scientific work of A. Pokrytan is distinguished by the diversity of research topics, the depth of development of methodology and theory of political economy, as well as the involvement of new scientific problems in the field of theoretical analysis. The scientific research of the scientist is the methodological and theoretical tools that allow to study the nature of modern development of the national economy.
