A.I.Bayramov:Economic time from methodological point of view: anatomy of conceptual vision

“present” is not in “point” form. There is a need for certain time interval and certain changes in the

economic substance. Otherwise the economic time will “stagnate” or will be accepted in such form.
There are some transitions between the economic time intervals (past → present → future),

during which the “memory” of the economic system starts to operate and past is accepted as past event.
The existence of the historic “memory” of the economic system makes possible the

identification of past → present and the future in the condition of endless flow process of the time.
As we can see the “memory” of the economic time is the derivative of the economic time… At

the same time, the memories occurred during the various time intervals (past, present of the past,

future of the past) are accumulated in separate layers. In other words, it is impossible to evaluate the
inheritance principle in one way.

Moreover, the development levels held in the “memory” are not always complete and are

not in complete quality and at the same time it is not possible.
The historical projection of the economic time: acceleration phenomenon

From the point of view of the historical projection of the economic time, we can observe the
weakness of the connections with the real time during the evolution of the understanding process. On

the other hand, you can see the slow formation of economic time in the womb of social time and a
significant increase in the tendency of its transformation “thing in itself”. From the historical

researches we can derive the conclusion that the trends and tendency identified by the modernism

terminology have a real base. In other words, the change of the type of the society from socio-
cultural and socio-economic aspects can be shown on the pre-modernism → modern →post-

modernism and it allows showing the retrospective and modern problems of the current situation.
It is obvious that the society during the pre-modernism period is featured as “traditional society”.

At the same time it is misleading to characterize it (i.e. the “traditional society”) only from
chronological point of view, as a society which will transfer to modernism. During long-lasting

period the primary societies were treated as a far “past” of the modernistic society.

The structural view [K.Lebu-Strauss. 1999] to the problem shows that this assumption is
wrong and the primary societies have their own model and structure (mythological) and relate to

separate type of society. Nowadays it was fully proved that the chronological sequence of the

modern society of not necessary for the formation of the traditional society. In other words, the
believe that the “traditional” society will develop in spontaneous way into the more modern

forms is misleading, although the transition to modernism considers the formation of modern
