Culture, economy, power: conflict or convergence

The correlation study of social concepts such as culture, economy, and power is motivated by the fact that for a long time in the Russian social science the dominant idea has been the priority of material aspect in social life over the spiritual life; that is, socio-economic factors prior to spiritual and psychological factors. Reassessment of priorities in social development requires understanding of the principle that the material wealth of society is just an inner form of culture, and its genuine content is the human development, including the enhancement of fundamental strength and creative opportunities.
