Economic Growth as an Interpersonal Process

Summary/Abstract: Economic development is a process that can be described in the context of evolutionary, modernisation, and dialectical concepts, as such concepts provide key notions necessary to define the semantics of such development. Social roles, stages of growth, and conflict of values – these are all notions that make development a “central category”. Growth, or development, as a central category, becomes an interpersonal process. On the one hand, it is based on individual activities, and on the other, it is subject to systemic restrictions. It is a combination of spontaneity and order, and has both axiological and pragmatic components. The goal of this paper is to present development as a central category, and to identify the appropriate diagnostic tool for this purpose. This tool is the notion of economic development standards, whose individual levels (financial, social, and symbolic) make it possible to describe growth as a multifaceted and interpersonal process.
