ECONOMY DURING A PANDEMIC
The paper discusses the problem of a pandemic, which played an important role in the further development of our industrial society, which is based on a very flexible dynamic structure, since this structure is characterized by a division of labor, a high level of competition, accelerated development of entrepreneurial resources and human capital, and against the backdrop of all this, also productivity growth. A pandemic is the spread of a disease in all a world, that is, it takes on a dominant role in the economy of not a single country and its individual representative, but affects all spheres of social reproduction, which already implies macroeconomics that goes far beyond the behavior of individual economic agents in the course of their production, distribution, consumer activities. But most importantly, the problems caused by it can also be generated by the socio-psychological essence of the people themselves (It means the mass media as a factor in the formation of mass culture). Leaders of many countries have declare d and go on doing it from the outset that the methods of dealing with the pandemic should not lead to the end of mutual investment. This only gives reason to believe that today, as never before, partnerships and trade relations, that have been developed for many years, will be continued. But this does not give reason to believe that the world will therefore emerge victorious in this situation, since the main consequences are already relatively clear - it is expected that national economies will contract, the level of production and consumption will significantly decrease, and small and medium enterprises will suffer the most.
