Smirnov I. O. Economization of politics as a result of the political crisis of modernity	download russian text
The transition from the concept of politics as a continuation of ethics to the concept of politics as a continuation of economics was a result of a political crisis of modernity in the second half of the XXth century.

But the practical, instrumental nature of economics doesn’t give other options but to use certain ethical ideal as a basis for organizing political sphere. Thus, the process of economization of a political sphere doesn’t actually eliminate ethical principles, but only hide it from sight.
