Human Needs Viewed from the Economic Aspects

Sažetak
The psychological view of the human needs can serve only as their partial explanation. The socio-economic view should take into account Marx's assertion that the economic concepts could be explained by the ways of production and social relation rather than by the phenomenon of social consciousness. Many authors see the main difference between the socialist and capitalist systems in the relations of proprietorship, as well as in the decision making and management in general. But, if we find the considerable differentiation according to the status of the individuals and that of the work organizations, it can not be changed by merely introducing new system of management, but the change in the content of the management is called for.
This means that in Yugoslav conditions the inequality can not be eliminated before the change in technology and in the ways of its integration takes place.
The special stress is here put on the consumerism orientation, which is stimulated by the existing system of relations in Yugoslav society. Namely, as the consuming is the reflection of the relations in distribution while the distribution is reflecting the relations in production, the emergence of the »consuming society« should not be regarded as the consequence of the bourgeois mentality. The hierarchy of the need satisfaction is determined by insufficiently integrated production and distribution. However, together, with the technique, technology and organization of the production system, the central role is played by the educational system which is still being oriented more to the reproduction of existing than to creation of new.
