Attempt to understand possible crisis solutions in the country, which economy has a mineral-raw orientation, leads to a conclusion about necessity of more attentive account of ethical (geoethical) factors as any directions of development of the country are made out legislatively and documentary, but the ethical component of decisions accepted in the conditions of crisis not always is obvious.

In any society there are various groups of people with peculiar each concrete group the group ethics. But in a society which economy basically is based on operation of a mineral-source of raw materials, in our opinion, these groups only two – supervising mineral resources and incomes of their operation and deprived of the similar control over mineral resources. And the second group is deprived such possibility not because so the considered society is unfairly arranged, and is simple owing to technical impossibility of each member of a society directly to influence a part of mineral resources “belonging” to it. Therefore for a society, a basis of which economic power are mineral resources, existence of the effective mechanism of social availability of mineral resources is important.

As intrinsic features of mineral resources are exhaustion, non-renew ability, deficiency (limitation) and their belonging to both current and future generations made managerial decisions in economy sphere should be based on these features. Thus in the conditions of a general economic crisis the special attention, from the point of view of geoethics, should be given to rationalization of maintenance by resources, uses of resources and consumption of resources with the peremptory analysis of social responsibility of leading scientists and organizers of functioning of a mineral resources complex for preparation and acceptance of administrative decisions at all stages of reproduction of a mineral-raw-material base and realization of mineral production (searches and investigation of mineral deposits, mineral resources mining and raw-material processing, output of mineral production and its realization.

In the conditions of an economic crisis, because of objectivity of functioning of laws of economic development, use of such tool as «ethics and culture» is decreased. The main organize mechanism of economy (making of profit, aiming only on economic result) becomes the morals basis. The ethical group supervising mineral resources inevitably changes motivation of making managerial decisions. The motto «It is ethic, if it allows to us to supervise mineral resources» becomes major principle here. This principle actually substitutes motivation for strict accounting, at that time when ethical responsibility for made decisions, prudence (a debt in relation to itself ), duties in relation to near, honesty and charity are required.

The key to effective anti-recessionary decisions consists not in quasi-market efforts, and in necessity to begin movement from economy of profits to economy for people.
