Journal Title: Економіка розвитку - Year 2012, Vol 63, Issue 3
Abstract
The paper examines M. I. Tuhan-Baranovskyi's views on the role of the national factor in economic development. The aim of this study is to show that, contrary to some authors' allegations, the nationalistic views were alien to the great scientist. In order to accomplish this aim, the paper focuses on his works "Anti-Semitism in Modern Russia" and "Theoretical Foundations of Marxism", as well as analyses his public and journalistic activities and draws on memoir resources. The main reference work used in the paper is the article collection "The Unknown M. I. Tuhan-Baranovskyi" (Saint-Petersburg, 2008), which provides new findings of great interest to the research community investigating the scientific work of the economist. The paper shows that the scientist attributed anti-Semitism to severe competition in multinational markets. It also addresses the differences of opinion between him and W. Sombart and P. B. Struve regarding national aspects of economic theory, and sets out his point of view on the defining role of economic factors in the origin of national identity. The paper demonstrates the scientist's negative attitude towards anti-Semitism and great-power chauvinism. It presents evidence on him supporting the principles of freedom of international trade and freedom of national self-determination. The philosophical basis of his concept of "ethical socialism" is also considered. The paper concludes that M. I. Tuhan-Baranovskyi's socioeconomic views were devoid of any nationalist element. In times of economic crisis, when society is faced with a growing influence of nationalist forces, the paper's findings will contribute to the improvement of conditions and stabilization of socioeconomic development.
