The article is devoted to the methodological problems of the political economy of socialism. It provides a categorical distinction between the structural and dynamic dependencies of the political-economic system. On the one hand, structural dependence has an object–subject direction, ascending from productive forces to production relations and from them to state power. On the other hand, the direct opposite, subject–object direction is inherent in dynamic dependence, descending from state power to production relations and the conscious use of their objective laws for the development of productive forces. This subject–object dependence reaches its fullest embodiment under conditions of strong power, the standard of which is the political-economic system of contemporary China.
