Evolutionary aspects of the human-oriented economy in the categorical-system methodology

Abstract

The object of the research is human-oriented economy. The purpose of the study is to develop a model for the development of human-centered economy through its gradual complication. The author puts forward a hypothesis that the development of an hierarchy of objectively necessary human needs will provide a basis for identifying the structure of a new economic system with targets focused on gradual development of each economic entity and the economy as a whole. The study applies the methods of content analysis and the «Final information flow» method. The author first performs identification and cognition of qualitative characteristics of human-oriented economy based on the «Finite information flow» method using such parameters as logical level, logical limit and transformability. He then formulates the logical levels of human-centered economy development on the basis of human needs allocation, determines the presence of diverse structures within the framework of a human-centered economy, and presents human-oriented economy as a object gradually becoming more complex. The practical and theoretical findings of the study prove that the comprehension of human-centered economy through «Final information flow» method may serve as a basis for further research aimed at building a scientifically grounded theory of the phenomenon under study.
