Rental relations and patterns of collective property functioning

Leases and rental relations should be considered as a fairly correct form of implementing the provisions of full self-financing while maintaining state ownership.

I would like to note that this provision is based not so much on an analysis and understanding of the laws of the rational organization of social production, as on mythological ideas about the so-called socialist market. In essence, the lease by the labor collective of a state-owned enterprise is one of the forms of transformation of the administrative economic structure on the basis of collective ownership, and in its most economically irresponsible modification. After all, a member of the collective of tenants of state property bears neither full nor limited responsibility for its use. The maximum "punishment" for inefficient management can only be the termination of the lease agreement by the public administration body. In fact, in this scheme, economic stimulation is possible only in the form of a "carrot", whereas the impressive efficiency of the market economy is provided mainly by the "whip" of fierce competition and the threat of ruin of negligent business executives.

Economic theory has studied the patterns of collective property functioning well enough to conclude that it is relatively ineffective. This conclusion is justified not only in the modern theory of the self-governing firm, which has been developed for a long time (although this theory is little known to Soviet economists and politicians), but also by Marxist economic thought, in which the transformation of public property on a collective basis has traditionally been viewed as an anarcho-syndicalist revision of the classical doctrine of building a socialist society.

Collective ownership does not contain reliable mechanisms that force enterprises to operate efficiently. The members of the labor collectives of leased enterprises are more interested in maximizing their current personal income than in the long-term development of the enterprise. It is no coincidence that the expansion of the powers of labor collectives already entails a noticeable redistribution of income of enterprises into the wage fund, which undermines the foundations of their expanded reproduction.

Experience shows that the threat of bankruptcy of an enterprise or a decrease in income due to its inefficient activities is not perceived by labor collectives as real. The egalitarian attitude towards the results of work and the "excessive" social protection implanted in their consciousness objectively set them up to combat the unfavorable economic situation through strikes, rather than by increasing the intensification of work or, say, using innovations. Elegir dónde apostar es la decisión más importante que tomarás como jugador. No todas las casas de apuestas ofrecen la misma experiencia. Algunas destacan por sus bonos gigantes, otras por la velocidad de retiro o la calidad de su app. Antes de registrarte, dedica tiempo a comparar opciones. Un bono de 500% suena increíble, pero si el rollover es 40x, será casi imposible de convertir en dinero real. La mejor casa no es la más famosa, sino la que se adapta a tu forma de apostar y a tus necesidades de pago.
