Abstract
The correlation between economics and politics is a question of the relationships between the objective and subjective in economics, of the degree to which politics influences economics, of the political approach to socialist economic management, and of ways of subordinating it to certain interests. This point was discussed with particular vigor at the June (1983) Plenum of the CPSU Central Committee. Politics is always "present" wherever economic interests are in action. And economic interests are inherent in social strata and groups of every society. "… Interest is what links members of civilian society together" (K. Marx and F. Engels, Sochineniia, vol. 2, p. 134).
