Introduction to the Philosophy of Economic Autonomization

The paper presents the concept of a philosophy of economic autonomy, based on the idea of expanding a persons economic and temporal autonomy through the development of autonomous productive capital. The relationship between technological automation, changes in the structure of property ownership, income distribution, and the liberation of a person from the forced dependence on the constant sale of their own labour is examined. The central tenet of the concept is the transition from the labour income model to the ownership of autonomous capital income model, which makes it possible to free up human time for education, creativity, knowledge, and selfdevelopment. Special attention is paid to the concept of autonomous humanism, where economic freedom is viewed as a means of developing human potential. It also reveals the possibility of synthesizing elements of capitalist and socialist traditions.
