This paper confirms the principal possibility of using synergetics in macroeconomic studies. It noted that the presence in economic systems of all science typologies requires using subjects of natural and engineering sciences for the study of economic objects as well. Ignoring this fact hinders the development of fundamental economic knowledge and, as consequence, conditions the use of metaphysical concepts in developed models. Since the above interdisciplinarity is inherent in synergetics, its applicability in macroeconomics is considered. On the example of modeling economic systems, it is demonstrated that their essence (nonlinear space-time structure) corresponds to the basic provisions of synergetics. Therefore, its tools are eligible in the tasks of macroeconomic analysis. As an example, this paper proposes the stochastic model of economic cycles explaining their phenomenon as well as providing the quantitative (parametric) description of cycles. Novelty of the model describing the cycles as random oscillations is tied to the probabilistic description of the investment function and the perception of the economic system as a material object with certain inherent properties. According to a proposed model, the income oscillations are induced by both exogenous (investment fluctuations) and endogenous (economic system elasticity) causes. The values of fluctuations of the income function around its longterm trend relate to the value of intensity of investment fluctuations as well as the gain (efficiency) of the economic system. The duration of the cycle is related to the inclusive wealth of the system and its dynamic factor, which characterizes the system’s ability to withstand investment fluctuations as well as to eliminate their consequences. Prospects of practical applications of the considered model were demonstrated on the example of cycle management.

The search for a methodological basis for economic development that meets the principles of sustainable development, and its transformation into real mechanisms of functioning of socio-economic systems, is an urgent problem of our time. Against this background, in less than 20 years, different concepts have been proclaimed as action programs for the economic development of nations: green, blue and circular economiсs. At the same time, the question about the interrelation of concepts of "green", "blue" and "circular" economics remains unresolved. Are these concepts complementary or alternative? Could they be implemented simultaneously? In what way they contribute to the goals of sustainable development? What is the ability of each of these concepts to put into practice progress towards sustainable development at different levels of socio-ecological and economic systems functioning? This study aims to answer these questions through the study, generalization and critical reflection of the research results of world and domestic scientists on the content and methodological principles that form the basis of green, blue and circular economics concepts. The main features, spheres, key accents and relations of these concepts are investigated in the article. The results of the analysis give grounds to conclude that with the change of "colors" of concepts aimed at ensuring the sustainable economic development, there is a transformation of understanding of the relationship between the economy and nature. There is a movement from an anthropocentrism, which, to some extent, formed the basis of a green economy built on the implementation of green technological solutions, to an understanding of the unity and interdependence of resource movements in the natural and economic system within a circular economy. A new vision of the socio-economic system, which operates on the basis of congruence with nature, changes the model based on human dominance. The proposed solutions are becoming more and more concrete – from the general policy guidelines within the Green Economy to specific mechanisms for the transformation of business models and the use of resources in a circular economics. This illustrates the paradigm shift of economic knowledge, its adaptation for sustainable resource management, policy making and support for institutional change and, in fact, gives reason to hope for the implementation of the idea of sustainable development, i.e. the harmonization of socio-economic processes within the natural constraints.

Noonomics in the concept of the noosphere in its origin involves the formulation of theoretical and methodological prerequisites for inclusion in the structure of economic knowledge, both in engineering and in digital economics. One of them can be a spatial approach based on the concept of multidimensional and multilevel economic space. Based on the above, the authors define the purpose of the article as the institutionalization of the conceptual representation of noonomics with the use of the approach and the development of the methodology of noonomical research. The novelty of the work is the revealed specificity of the hierarchical structure of the three-level economic space based on the use of reproduction-level meta-system analysis. The history of the development of the definition of the content of the concept of “system” will soon celebrate its centenary, at the same time, a paradigm system concept has not yet been created. There is an evolution of the concept of system, including the ontological, gnostic, and epistemological meaning of the concept. Without setting the search criteria for distinguishing between certain systems, only one type of system was chosen for the analysis out of all their huge set – the economic system. We have defined the content of the concept of "economic system" in the sense that will allow us to use it in the future when including economic systems of different levels, including regional ones, in the structure of a multidimensional economic space. It is shown that innovation clusters play an important role in the formation of the economy in the regions.

The article is devoted to the development of a conceptually new systemic structural approach to the study of sustainability of economic systems. The problem of ensuring sustainability of economic entities remains unsolved, largely due to the lack of the necessary methodology. In the article, the approach is shaped by new economic systems theory, which implies the division of all economic systems into types depending on their spatiotemporal localization. Applied research of socio-economic system of Ukraine in its context is implemented by econometric modeling using data mining techniques and by calculating the economic sustainability index using the author’s techniques. The indicators, announced by the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, as well as the ranking and indexing results, presented by leading international organizations, are used as the parameters. Alternative hypothesis about preconditioning of economic sustainability of the macro-level system by the structural balance of its four subsystems with different spatial and temporal localization is confirmed. The results of modeling have shown a number of interesting, previously not formalized, patterns of the country’s development and have allowed to better understand the forming mechanism of its sustainability in different periods during 2000–2015. Both the methodology itself and the empirical results obtained on its basis open up a wide variety of perspectives of micro and macroeconomic analysis.

This paper shows the diversity and significance of relations of duality among different economic systems. The composition of the principles underlying the system economic theory used for the analysis of duality in the economy is investigated. The concept of the economic system is clarified and the equivalence of three basic concepts of the economic system is shown: a) as a space-time volume (“black box”); b) as a complex of elements and connections among them; c) as a tetrad, including object, project, process and environment components. In a new way, the concept of the tetrad is revealed. The actual interpretation of the interrelationships of its components, based on the mechanisms of intersystem circulation of spatial and temporal resources and the transmission of abilities from one economic system to another, is proposed. On the basis of the obtained results, the most essential aspects of duality in the theory of economic systems are considered. It is shown that the interaction of internal content and the nearest external environment of economic systems lies in the nature of the relations of duality. A new approach to modeling the structure and to functioning of the economic system, based on the description of its activities in the form of two interconnected tetrads (the first tetrad reflects the intrasystem production cycle and the second one — the external realization-reproduction cycle) is put forward. It is shown that the concept of duality in a system economy creates prerequisites for adapting the functioning of local economic systems (objects, projects, etc.) in a market, administrative and functional environments and, as a result, harmonizing the economy as a whole.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the content and results of the First International Lvov Forum, dedicated to the 90th anniversary of the birth of Academician D. S. Lvov (1930–2007). The forum was held on October 20–21, 2020 at the State University of Management with the support of the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (RFBR), project No. 20-010-22058. Major Russian and foreign scientists, academicians and corresponding members of the Russian Academy of Sciences, leading Russian universities, universities of the Czech Republic, France, Bulgaria and other countries took part in the First Lvov Forum. The Forum discussed fundamental problems of modern Russian and world economic science, including: the problem of the crisis of the paradigm of economic theory; the problem of the relationship between philosophical and economic knowledge; the need to form a new paradigm of economic science; the problem of interaction between society, state and business at the micro, meso and macro levels in the face of modern challenges; place and role of Russia in the world socio-economic system; development strategy of the Russian socio-economic system in the context of the new paradigm of economic science in the context of modern challenges. The discussion of the above fundamental problems was on the basis of a synthesis of the principle of dichotomy and a systematic approach. The First Lvov Forum took a significant place among such major Russian scientific events as the Gaidar Economic Forum, the Krasnoyarsk Economic Forum, the Moscow Economic Forum, etc. due to the relevance of the problems considered at the Forum, the novelty of the methods proposed for their solution. The ideas of Russian and foreign scientists presented at the Forum can be used for the further development of modern economic theory, as well as for the development of programs for the development of the Russian economy at the micro, meso and macro levels.

Islamic economic system is built on the foundation of the Islamic faith, the faith in question is the right because it comes from Allah brought to mankind through the prophet Muhammad. The Islamic faith is a faith that satisfies reason, reassures the soul, and is in accordance with human nature. In an individual context, economic activity is based on the values of worship. The economic system known by society globally is the capitalist and socialist economic system. In the economic context, both systems have been able to increase the prosperity of the people in the country that uses both economic systems. The capitalist system is influenced by the zeal to make the most of its profits with limited resources. This capitalist venture is supported by the values of freedom to make ends meet. This freedom resulted in high competition among others in defense, while the socialist economic system had the goal of mutual prosperity. In conclusion, the Islamic economic system is a solution economic system for various problems that have arisen, while the conventional economic system is an economic system that is widely used by various countries in the world, including Indonesia. A conventional economy is an economic system that gives full freedom to everyone to carry out economic activities.

Recently, in econophysics, it has been shown that it is possible to analyze economic systems as equilibrium thermodynamic models. We apply statistical thermodynamics methods to analyze income distribution in the Colombian economic system. Using the data obtained in random polls, we show that income distribution in the Colombian economic system is characterized by two specific phases. The first includes about 90% of the interviewed individuals, and is characterized by an exponential Boltzmann-Gibbs distribution. The second phase, which contains the individuals with the highest incomes, can be described by means of one or two power-law density distributions that are known as Pareto distributions.

In this paper, we develop a two sector DSGE model with market and political power interactions. These interactions are motivated by the politico-economic systems of several South European countries, over the last half century. In these countries the state permits the existence of industries, typically related to the extended public sector, where firms and workers employed therein have market power (insiders), unlike other firms and workers in the economy (outsiders), as insiders, that dominate the major political parties, cooperate to influence government decisions, including those that pertain to the very existence of such a politico-economic system. Consistently with stylized facts of growth and the business cycle of these countries, the model predicts: (i) large negative deviations of per capita GDP from what these countries would have been capable of, if their politico-economic system was not characterized by the above mentioned frictions; and (ii) deeper and longer recessions in response to negative shocks, as their politico-economic system reacts so as to amplify these shocks.

In modern conditions, ensuring the security of economic systems is interconnected with the categories “sustainability” and “development”. Sustainability of an economic system reflects the reliability and strength of its constituent elements, the efficiency and inviolability of horizontal and vertical links within the system itself. Development is one of economic security components, since the lack of development significantly reduces the ability to resist and adapt to internal and external threats. The security of the national economic system is considered as the ability to survive and develop steadily in the conditions of turbulence and the influence of hard-to-predict factors. The success of economic development is largely determined by significant structural changes based on innovation. Consequently, dynamic innovative development must have an adequate innovative structure. “Innovatization” as an economic category is a process of accumulation, preservation, use and development of the innovative potential of the economic system’s acting entities. The economic theory of economic systems’ innovatization is one of the demanded economic paradigms of our time for most developed and developing countries of the world, including Russia. This is due to the decisive role of innovations in the development of economic systems and, as a result, this is as a source and one of the criterion indicators of economic security. The authors, using the holistic approach and the method of structural-logical decomposition in the study, revealed the content and forms of innovatization in economic development structures as a basis for ensuring economic security.

This chapter provides an overview of the Polish–Lithuanian Jews who were taken captive to be ransomed or sold into slavery. Once captured, these Jewish women and men found themselves trapped in two major international economic systems of the period. The first was the international trade in Ukrainian, Polish, Russian, and Circassian captives carried out by the Crimean Tatars with the support of the Ottoman Empire. The second economic system was piracy in the Mediterranean. Two major issues are at the heart of the discussion on the fates of these Jewish captives. The first concerns the slave trade itself and how its market conditions shaped the fate of the captured Jews. The second deals with the effort to ransom the Jewish captives from eastern Europe and is focused on the transregional Jewish philanthropic networks that raised huge sums and transported them the long distances to the slave market, examining them in terms of both their form and their function.
