The popularity of the series “The Child’s Promise” is due to the fact that the plot largely reflects the trends in modern Russia, including the country’s economy. With this view in an interview RBC Dean of the Faculty of Economics of Moscow State University spoke. MV Lomonosov Alexander Auzan.
According to the economist, he only managed to watch one episode. But he assured that the picture immediately seemed perfectly adequate for him.
He explained that there is a strong polarization in the plot of the series, as in Russia, and people are divided into friends and enemies. Auzan also stated that force was used to protect personal interests.
According to him, the cult of power shown in the series can also be compared to childhood, when there was a division into two camps. There is also such a division in the economy.
Auzan explained that we are talking about “bonding” (bonding in English – connecting with someone based on shared feelings, interests, or experience). As a result, closed social capital is formed “for the war of ourselves against others”.
“Everything is ours, but strangers are not allowed in. Neither to the courtyard, nor to the technology, nor to the market. And because it is a feeling in the country and it is a process, I think it is based on that, that is, historical memory,” the economist concluded.
Previously Auzan saidIt will help Russia become a leader in globalization.
