In parallel with this work, a group of theorists who are followers of the school was united in St. Petersburg on the basis of the journal "Problems of Modern Economics" (editor-in-chief Professor N.F. Gazizullin), I.K. Smirnova. In the process of developing the provisions of this school, ideas arose that.
