Regulacja ekonomiczna i społeczna w gospodarce Stanów Zjednoczonych. Instrumentarium realizacji i aspekty teoretyczne

Abstract

The article analyzes various aspects of the socio-economic regulation in the US economy being extremely important from the viewpoint of rate and proportions of eoonomic growth, as well as the level of broadly-understood social welfare. These aspects were considered to be: speed and directions of scientific-technical progress, utilisation and protection of the natural environment. The main attention has been foouesed on presentation of the scope forms and methods of regulation. The eoonomic and social regulation is prompted by an objective necessoty of regulating broadly-understood capital and a need for the state's control over the level and distribution of social welfare. It is both a condition of welfare growth and a fundamental factor ensurlng continuity of the capitalist system reproduction . Consequently, the trend towards regulation or decrease of the scope of economic and social regulation observed in the US economy at present is a reflection of revival o f neoconservative and neoliberal concepts in the eoonomic and political life.It is of a temporary character and it should not lead to decreasing the scope of the regulation discussed here in a permanent way.
