Description

This is a study of the "post-economic state". The book examines post-industrial theories and post-economic trends in order to offer a vision and an understanding of contemporary and future society. The most important key to understanding the nature of social dynamics, claims the author, is the study not only of the historical facts and laws, but the study of man's perception of those facts and laws. The book is divided into two parts. Part One aims to reflect the process of the formation of the theories of historical progress, to show the laws of their formation, which, in the end, reflect the real laws of the movement of the society itself. The author claims it is necessary to consider several theories that divide historical progress into three stages as advances on the path to understanding our future and to discuss their pluses and minuses. Part Two aims to present a comprehensive and consistent notion of the society that is under formation today as a post-economic society. The author regards the transition from labour to creative activity as the main issue of modern social transformation.
