D.S. L’vov. National Dividend Concept is a Global Model of
the XX Century.
For the latest decades, the problem of biosphere
condition and development has become increasingly critical. It is not only
the question of environment but also of a system which would direct the
use of life-support resources of mankind to maintain global equilibrium
between the Society and the Nature. However, there has been little progress
on the way of creating such a system. One of the main reasons is a liberal
economic doctrine named the “Washington Consensus” which is adopted in
a number of countries. Its narrow-mindedness and deficiency are in the
absence of interrelation of economic development with its determining,
initial components, namely, the Man and the Natural Environment.
The author and his colleagues from the RAS Central Economics and Mathematics
Institute are actively developing, as an alternative to this doctrine,
a concept of socioeconomic development known as the national dividend concept.
According to it, all natural resources and environment belong to the nation
as a whole, therefore, they can and must be social property.
