Meso-Level as the Essential Agent in the Formation of Inter-Subjective Relations in the Economy*

Abstract

The meso-level' meaning and place in the hierarchy of levels in the economy from the standpoint of a systematic interdisciplinary approach is shown in the paper: The meso-level exactly "smoothes out" the randomness in the situational-socioeconomic processes taking place at the micro-level, where the heteromorphic and heterogeneous current agents' expectations and preferences appear one of the essential reasons of increasing of uncertainty level within the development of any process. At the macro-level, the current individual agents' expectations and preferences are offset by the current institutional system. The meso-level is exactly the place where the current dominant type of inter-subjective relations in economy is formed through the agents' complementary cooperation in mesoeconomic agents' community. Mesolevel should be considered as a testing ground for revision of the existing institutional system norms, where the testing of the feasibility and versatility of the newly generated institutions and the identification of the inefficient ones are taking place. 1.
