Digital economy – Information era: Retrospective analysis

Abstract

The economy of the post-industrial society is interpreted as the unity of information technologies and global production institutions. The methodological and instrumental study of the economy, which is an open non-equilibrium self-organizing system, is shown. One of the newest trends in science - economic kinetics, or meta-economics, exploring the laws of world evolution are considered. The contribution presents a critical analysis of existing approaches to the selection of historical types of business, demonstrates a new model of economic formations and inter-formational transitions, substantiates the introduction of wagesability in the digital economy, which ensures the priority development of human capital.
