Lyubinin A.B.,

ScD (Economics), Professor, Member of the Board of Directors of JSC «Business-Alliance»

Abstract. The article comments on the concept of «socialism with Chinese specificity», which forms the ideological basis of the «Chinese miracle». The ideological origins of this concept, starting with Confucianism, are revealed. It has evolved to become increasingly pragmatic and to adapt to the realities of national and global development. The relation of this concept with the Marxist concept of socialism is shown. The article substantiates the fundamental theoretical thesis that in the objective-essential sense (in the elimination of, in particular, national specifics) Chinese society is a transitional form to socialism (a certain analogue of the Soviet society of the NEP period). The author talks about a «heterogeneous», «mixed» socio-economic system, the vector and nature of the future evolution of which will depend crucially on the strategic course of the CPC.

Keywords: China (PRC), CPC, The Х1Х Congress of the CPC, socialism, Marxist concept of socialism, concept of «socialism with Chinese specificity», Confucianism, V. I. Lenin, concept of «socialization of production in practice», NEP, Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, Xi Jinping.

Tanasova A.S.,

PhD (Economics), Deputy Director of the Center for Monetary Policy and Financial Markets of the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation

Abstract. The article is devoted to the «Trilemma» of the policy of the monetary authorities, or the «rule of impossible trinity». This policy compatibility rule, formulated more than 50 years ago, remains relevant today. Its reliability is generally confirmed by a number of empirical studies, although there are also suggestions on the need to adjust this economic and theoretical development. The corresponding discussion also affects the policy of the Bank of Russia (mega-regulator), which carries out inflation targeting in conditions of the free movement of cross-border capital and the use of a floating ruble exchange rate. Regarding the effectiveness of this policy, carried out in the presence of increased sensitivity of the Russian economy to external shocks, the authors express certain doubts.

Keywords: «Trilemma of impossibility», «rule of impossible trinity», monetary authorities, monetary policy, exchange rate of national currency, exchange rate policy, exchange rate volatility, inflation targeting, cross-border movement of capital, mega-regulator, CBR.
