The point of departure in studying Marxist economics is always individual persons in real life situations. In the study of the new systemic economics, however, the point of departure is human beings in abstract terms categorized as individual economic man. It is true that Marxist economics recognizes personal material interests, and have the interests scientifically defined. The new systemic economics, the author maintains, only emphasizes abstract analysis of persuasion of maximum personal material interests, while neglects the social aspects of personal material interests in reality. According to Marxist economics, realization of personal interests is not merely through rational selection of individuals, but rather, it is determined by regulation of social production relations instead. The new systemic economics, on the contrary, believes that it is individual rational choice that determines realization of personal interest and in turn leads to social changes.
