Abstract

The publication is devoted to theoretical foundations in the field of system socio¬economic space, reflected in the works of Russian philosopher and encyclopedist A.A.Bogdanov. Based on the concept of socially-organized experience, reflecting basic principles about the laws of organization, acting in technology (organization of things), economy (organization of people), politics (organization of ideas), the article substantiates the idea of the special role of space and time, first proposed by A.Bogdanov in relation to economic systems and system economic theory. In this conceptual context searching for new approaches and rethinking of theoretical capital are considered in order to transform economic systems in the direction of increasing their efficiency. It is noted that Bogdanov’s concept is the first scientific concept that integrates the ideas of cybernetics, general systems theory and synergetics. The author draws attention to the Bogdanov’s attempt to generalize the universal organizational laws governing the behavior and structure of fundamentally new complex systems, which is characterized as “universal organizational science.” The article develops a conceptual model of qualitative equilibrium interaction of the basic subsystems of the economic system in the context of information exchange. Based on the presented information model of the economic system in accordance with Bogdanov’s ideas conclusions are drawn that this teaching, in combination with modern systemic economic theory, can become the theoretical basis for general economic analysis. Arguments are given in favor of a revival of interest in understanding the ideas of Bogdanov, in particular in understanding the “space of the economy” and the concept of “conscious cooperation”, which can complement or oppose the concept of competition. His main ideas about a society based on “consciously comradely principles” are noted, which are of scientific interest in the context of regulating the fair and dishonest behavior of economic entities. The article allows us to approach the assessment of the diversity of Bogdanov’s ideas from different positions, reserving the opportunity for each scientist to form his own view and approach to this process of rethinking his many theses and tools.
