Archaic Forms of Economic Activity in Peripheral Regions and Problems of Systematic Structural Reforms of the Russian Economy

Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes the role and scope of the rooted economy of peripheral regions, which constitute the significant portion of archaic, traditional economic practices of the population, resources and informal institutions governing them. The study of traditional economic practices is carried out within the framework of the concepts of peripheral economy, rooted economy and ethno- economy. The given statistic empirical evidence demonstrates the basic role of traditional economic practices of the population in the reproduction of resources of the rooted economy sector of the region. The hypothesis about the high level of commercialization of economic structures of ethno- economics is justified and confirmed by the sample of the economic- sociological research. It is shown that an integral part of the concept of structural reforms of the Russian economy should be the strategy of capitalization of economic resources of the archaic peripheral regions.
