GEORGY NIKOLAEVICH TSAGOLOV: MAN, CITIZEN, SCIENTIST (ON THE OCCASION OF THE 80TH BIRTHDAY)

The article is dedicated to the memory of the outstanding scientist Georgy Nikolaevich Tsagolov. The author values the important contributions of Georgy Nikolaevich to economic science, demonstratе relevance and huge potential of his ideas about the integration of the plan and the market, private and public appropriation, monetary and non-monetary motivation. At the same time, the author argues with the scientist’s ideas, justifying that the socio-economic transformations, which are reinforced with the expansion of scientific and technological progress, are not a direct integration of capitalism and socialism, as Georgy Nikolaevich presumed. This is another form of transition to a new state of society, where economic relations will gradually disappear and the mechanism for meeting people’s needs created by the economy will gradually be replaced by another mechanism — Noonomics.
