The Contribution of Free Resources to the Creation and Growth of Goods (Wealth)

In economic science, there is only a mention of free goods and production resources. We find it since the time of the Physiocrats. The classic of economic theory A. Smith noted the participation of natural forces in the creation of wealth. The nature works together with man and this participation is free, gratuitous.Indeed, in the creation of tangible and intangible benefits, they have a lot of roles, in particular. Solar energy, climatic conditions, land resources, water resources, minerals, flora, fauna, etc. At the same time, the free (free) nature of some anthropogenic productive forces is not mentioned at all in science. These are knowledge, experience, scientific and technological achievements, organizational innovations accumulated and transferred by previous generations to the current generation, as well as the results of the gift nature of new knowledge and achievements in science and technology, which in many respects exceed the costs of them.
Free resources are fully and partially. Their full gratuitous nature means that there is no need for human forces in their action in the process of creating goods. In particular, this is solar energy, climatic conditions involved in the production of food and other products. Partially gratuitous are resources of natural origin that require costs to be used in the creation of goods. These are minerals, land, forest resources, etc. Anthropogenic forces are partially free, which are accumulated by previous generations and created by the current generation - knowledge, experience, scientific and technical innovations, and organizational innovations. Applied anthropogenic resources, transferred by previous generations free of charge only for use require costs.
The knowledge and scientific and technical innovations created by the current generation are usually characterized in many respects by greater results of application than the funds spent to obtain them. In view of this, the results and applications appear in the form of free goods. Certain processes that occur during the functioning and development of the economy also work free of charge - cooperation, cooperation, division of labor (specialization), concentration of production, etc.
It can be considered a big omission that until now economic science has not been engaged in research on the nature and results of the use of natural and anthropogenic gratuitous resources. This is when they are of great and ever-increasing importance in the economy and people's lives, they are reflected in the production of goods, their quantity and quality, and, as a result, the well-being of the people.
Increasing scale as a result of the intellectual and scientific and technological progress of society in our time has the use of natural, especially anthropogenic gratuitous fully and partially resources. Due to this, an important part of the created benefits is actually free, the result of the use of natural and anthropogenic free resources.
The mechanism of action of gratuitous (free) forces in the process of creating goods can be represented as follows. The value of the created goods lies in the presence of benefit, usefulness in them, i.e. properties that provide life support and well-being, satisfaction of needs, enjoyment of consumption. These properties originate from natural forces, are formed with their participation and human actions - production technology.
Thus, the usefulness of goods is to some extent a gift of nature, in whole or in part. Human participation in the formation of benefits (usefulness) of goods is partially gratuitous. Labor is a paid resource, but it uses anthropogenic resources, which to a large extent are partly gratuitous in nature - they require costs only for use. Anthropogenic partially free resources - knowledge, experience, scientific and technical achievements are initially informational in nature, which means that they are not consumed, do not disappear, do not wear out (do not decrease) when used.). They can increase, spread, and their powers increase. Consequently, their product is always greater than the cost of them, and to the extent that the scale and frequency of their use is greater.As a result, the economic result of the actions of fully and partially free resources is the formation of a free part of the created goods. This part, together with the cost part, is estimated and measured by economic parameters (prices). So we get the total amount of benefits and can distinguish its paid and free part.
Throughout the life of mankind, starting from primitive society, there has been the use of gratuitous resources to create wealth. Manufactured products always consisted of payment and gratuitous parts. And at present, the added product (as I call the part of the created goods that exceeds the costs of production), the profit of economic entities, is in fact a free product.
I consider a gift product in two aspects: the current one, as the excess of the created product over production costs, and the genetic one, as a result of the gift resources accumulated throughout history, therefore, of the entire development that has gone through.
The trend of history is the expansion of the use of gratuitous forces in the creation of goods and the increase in their scale. This expresses the progress of society, the entire economy, science and technology. According to my estimates about 97.11% of the wealth of modern society is the result of development, the use of accumulated free resources.
As a result, we can conclude that the knowledge of the fact of the existence of free resources for creating wealth (wealth), their types, the scale of use, the mechanism of action and the impact on the quantity and quality of the results of the production process, undoubtedly has theoretical and practical significance.This problem, in my opinion, should be the subject of research in economic science with a view to further detailed development of its specific aspects. The results of such research can enrich economic theory and specific areas of economic knowledge.
