The Social Representation of the Socialist Economy in Venezuela as

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to ensure the existing social representation of the socialist economy and to know the expectations created by its implementation, which is why the description of the assumptions and perceptions present in the initial social representations of the socialist economy and to determine what were the expectations generated by the implementation of the socialist economy in Venezuela. The research was supported by the critical dialectical conception of society that looks at the transition as the totality in real movement, using the qualitative research approach, based on the theory based to help recognize within the complex totality of the social relations framework, the substantivity of the social representations of the Socialist Economy, as well as the expectations created by its implementation. The aspects described allow us to say that the social representation of the Socialist Economy is presented on a superficial level, since some of the essential determinations that are part of the socialist construction and its economy are not accurately referenced. In relation to what the various social actors expect for the implementation of the socialist economy within the epochal change in Venezuela, it must be oriented to provide the basic satisfactors for society, if there are no basic satisfactions, no action or speech however hopeful can function, placing more and more uphill the construction of the Socialist Economy.
