Introduction to Economics: Without Illusions about the Work of Society and the State

We live when the cells of our organism function in harmony, when their coordinated work allows us to feel healthy and full of strength. Our society is a similar social organism, where all roles are interconnected and all the gears of the process form an open system known as the economy! The economy is a way of life for society. In this case, it is not surprising that economic problems hit hard on all cells of our social organism, whether we want this or not. Playing with the economy costs humanity dearly, as has been repeatedly confirmed by events in world history. This book is not a textbook; it contains no tedious economic laws or boring mathematical formulas, but rather an understanding of the essence of our life, which is inextricably linked to society. We will examine the prerequisites for market formation, discuss the necessity of money emergence, take a detailed look at existing economic systems, and thoroughly analyze the economy of the USSR and the legacy of our past! After all, we are grown-up people – not knowing the laws of our society can lead to material and moral losses, which we all want to avoid.
