CITIZENS’ RIGHTS IN THE ECONOMIC SPHERE: DEBATABLE PROBLEMS OF THE CORRELATION OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE INTERESTS

The article deals with the issues of correlation of public and private interests in the economic sphere as a debatable problem. The legal aspect of both the categorical-definitional distinction, and the practical-applicable one in the framework of protecting the rights of citizens and monitoring the observance of duties is highlighted. The immanent principle of the existence of rights and obligations in the sphere of economic activity is established As a result of the analysis of empirical data, it is concluded that individual and collective rights in the sphere of the economy are two parts of a single binary system. The dualistic approach to the theory of rights and their division into public and private in this matter seems to be schematic, not reflecting the nature of complex economic relations. It is proposed to consider the ratio of public and private interests in the economy as a complex category, taking into account the supra-sectoral nature of rights, freedoms and obligations, interconnected and interdependent not only by legal prerequisites, but also by social processes in the state.
