The economic policy of the state

The country's economy always develops according to historical and other objective laws. If we consider it from this point of view, then we can assume that its path is predetermined, given from above. But in fact, the economy is only partly related to what was in the past, under the influence of such actors as, for example, citizens, enterprises, the state, its development can proceed in a variety of ways. Of course, the scale of their impact on the economic destiny of the country is significantly different. The greatest possibility for this is the state represented by the government. It is he who chooses the line of conduct for implementing the social and economic strategy. At the same time, it proceeds from the set goals, takes into account the situation that has already developed in the society, as well as those trends that are only outlined.

Thus, the economic policy of the state is a line of action in this area pursued by it and the government of the country. Thus, they give the processes that are going on the desired direction, embody in practice the measures by which tasks and goals are achieved. The economic policy of the state directly reflects the course that the government of the country implements. Its meaning is to express and then translate the interests, tasks and goals of the people and power. At the same time, the state's economic policy reflects the views and positions of the government itself. Also here are expressions of the interests of the circle of persons with whom it is connected and on which it depends.

As already mentioned, the economic policy of the state is dictated by past events, previously accepted commitments and decisions. To a large extent, it is predetermined by the conjuncture in the world and in the country. This includes the state of the market, the economy, and supply and demand for services and goods, and trends in recession and growth.

It is known that the economy of any country in the world is developing unstable, it is cyclical. The phase of activity and growth is replaced by a phase of decline, there is a decline, demand and supply are decreasing, and entrepreneurial activity is dying away. Based on this, it is customary to single out the following cycles of economic development:

- climb;

- economic boom (conjuncture);

- recession;

- Depression.

So, on what phase the country's economy is in, the type of policy in this sphere also depends. Those who construct it are guided, first of all, by the dynamics and volume of the national gross product, by the size of supply and demand in aggregate, prices, consumption, incomes, unemployment and employment.

The economic policy of the state is closely connected with its internal, external and even military policy. It is influenced by the ideology that prevails in the country.

What can you say about economic policy in Russia? The crisis, albeit limited, has nevertheless affected the situation in the country. The growth rates have slowed down, which in turn does not allow doubling GDP for the next ten years. But this is not the worst. It is much more important to weaken Russia's dependence on the external market. That is why, in the context of the crisis, people started talking about ways of modernizing the country. In early 2011, the expert community received an assignment from Vladimir Putin to work out options for a new strategy for the development of the state until 2020. Two reasons have made this task urgent:

1) the consequences of the most severe crisis, because of which Russia's socio-economic policy needs a full rethinking;

2) includes several reasons characteristic for our country only. First and foremost, this is an urgent need to update the state's economic course, since the model that developed under the psychological, political and intellectual influence of the post-communist period has long since outlived itself.
