MARKET CONTROVERSIES IN THE LIGHT OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENTS DURING THE LAST CENTURY

During the last century the world was confronted with turbulent social trends and great social changes. That especially relates to Europe. These turbulent trends and great social changes were initiated by strong development of new fundamental knowledge, technologies and products, what all stimulated unseen till then market and competitiveness expansion, with a consequence of increasingly expressive integration processes and globalization trends. The natural consequence of increasingly stronger activity of market powers was that the rich (both individuals and countries) were becoming more and more richer, and the poor more and more poorer. It spontaneously imposed the problem of market controversies solution’s model. In Europe, as the most developed part of the world, looking for adequate solutions was initiated by various left political parties (social democratic, socialist and workers) andunion movements. Main social splits in Europe (later also in Asia) happened due to different attitudes towards selection of models and methods of market controversies alleviation. Left political forces in most developed countries of Western Europe selected a combination of market (as interest of capital) and solidarity criterion (as interest of work) in organization of economy and society. Relatively stable balance of work and capital interest was established on these fundamentals (during last century) in development of model of social welfare and civic society. During the ninetieth it started the reform of welfare society under the influence of the fourth (informatics and technological revolution). The essence of this reform (which is stillunderway) is the combination of world-view criteria of liberals and social democrats in organization of economy and society. The search for new balance in reformed model of welfare society turned out to berather controversial and turbulent. On these controversies English socialists lost Londonand French socialist gained Paris. Left political forces in East Europe, especially in imperial Russia decided up on suchsolution model of market controversies which as a matter of fact abolishes market. The results were withering. From the first day real socialism entered deep crisis which ended incollapse of bolshevik option. Self-management socialism would have had better chances if the explosion of Balkan nationalism had not enabled its further development on pluralistic bases. Unhapilly for countries in transition the process of transition began parallely with the beginning of reform of welfare society. Open spaces for expansion of liberal world view sinitiated non-critical application of economic neoliberalism. This had negative effects for majority of countries in transition. The solution of restriction problem of market controversies will countries in transition(especially European) realize by the help of the acceptance of model of reformed welfare society, what also means attachment to European Union.
