Summary/Abstract: The area of macro - economy has specificities and its own laws, and these were recognized by the economic science only after the great economic crisis in 1929. Socialism, however, taking place prior to that moment, has developed the macro - economic functions by raising the problems of individual reproduction (although enriched by a multitude of new methods) to the level of the social. Thus the economic policy has become „social technology ", since it was burdened by direct engagement in the sphere of material - production goals. The consequences were fatal not only regarding the independence of enterprises and commodity production, but also for the economic science itself, since it had to reconstruct, in accordance with the needs of the corresponding distribution of social power, other social sub - systems, too, including social values. The structure of the enormous social change facing the former socialist societies is rather complex: one essential dimension in this respect is also the change of the conception concerning the highest social goal, the means to achieve it, and the protagonists of the corresponding process. The author considers these questions within the framework of economic science, while pointing at the need to define, in a situation of a developed market structure, and in a new way, not only the goals, but also the border - lines between individual branches of that science. Particular attention is dedicated to the need of a more adequate designation of the macro - economic protagonist, certain socialisation of the protagonist of the economic policy, as well as to a more adequate distribution of social capacities of decision - making - as compared to the so - called socialist commocity production. All forms of statist organisation of economy deform the social macro - economic function in the same way, regardless of theri ideological conception.
