Introduction. The aim of the study is to identify the dialectics of the humanitarian and technological aspects of the formation and development of the technosphere. The authors’ historical and philosophical analysis of the formation and development of the technosphere at the stages of the early industrial, mature industrial and post-industrial society, as well as the correlation of the technosphere with the biosphere and noosphere in the context of globalism and the modern information society, is proposed. Materials and Methods. The work uses the dialectical approach, methods of induction and deduction, analysis and synthesis, structural-functional and program-targeted research methods. Results. In the framework of the dialectical approach, the position is argued that the ratio of technology and technology, on the one hand, and nature, biological matter, on the other hand, indicates the development of two trends: human autotrophy (human autonomy from natural forces) and its growing dependence on technology. The current structure of the modern technosphere is presented. The planetary and its national aspects are highlighted. The main stages of the development of the technosphere in the context of various technical revolutions are shown. The main risks of strengthening the dominant position of the technosphere and the transformation of its constituent technostructures, leading to the gradual loss of control over the content and nature of its functioning by the person, are revealed. Discussion and Conclusion. Based on a generalized analysis of philosophical ideas (D. Bell, J. Bernheim, J. K. Galbraith, T. Kuhn, G. Marcuse, M. Heidegger, M. Scheller, J. Ellul), an assessment of modern trends in the scientific study of humanitarian aspects is proposed. technospheres.

Relevance of the study is to consider that in the post-industrial society the role of information and knowledge is so increased that they begin to occupy a decisive place in the production development. The purpose of the work is investigated interrelation of information and knowledge in the process of intellectual activity, which is a component of the production activity of the post-industrial production. The study task is to examine the role of information and knowledge in the formation of the new economy replacing the industrial one. In this paper used abstract-logical method historical method systemic and dialectical methods of analysis and synthesis. As a result of the research were justified "information" and "knowledge" as independent and interrelated categories; identifying peculiarities of knowledge that distinguish it from traditional production factors; studying intellectual activity as a component of the production activity.

The article examines conceptually and empirically tertiarisation as structural and economic characteristics of the transformation of modern society into a post-industrial. The authors substantiate the need for consistent fullfledged passage of the national socio-economic system of stages of civilizational development, based on which the author's definition of tertiaryization is given. A comparative cross-country quantitative analysis of the service sector in national economies makes it possible of strengthening the structural shift in favor of this sector in the economies of a group of countries with an average income level. High income level of the population is but one of the conditions for the existence of a developed service sector, as is confirmed by the example of a number of oil exporting countries. Along with poverty, the reason for the slow expansion of the service sector in the underdeveloped countries is their insufficient technological development. Russia lagged behind the global average level in the share of tertiary sector as well as in the rates of its growth. On the one hand, this is an evidence of the growth potential of the whole economy created by tertiarization, while, on the other hand, it speaks for a necessity of ensuring a higher quality of this growth. Problems of service sector’s growth structure are becoming more relevant in the current circumstances. An increase in the quality together with the one in the rates of growth might be attained on the basis of an outpacing expansion of the share of services and progressive dynamics of labor productivity in the process of services creation. At the same time, this requires a large stock of human capital in the country, which substantiates a conclusion about presence of tertiarization in its true sense only in economically developed countries. A negative attitude towards tertiarization in less developed countries may be explained by the dominance of traditional services in the tertiary sector of their economies that have greatly lost a capacity for accelerating the overall economic growth by now. Consequently, countries, in which an extended reproduction of human capital is implemented according to the needs for modernization of the industrial apparatus in the economy, benefit from tertiarization in the first place.

Modern mankind has joined the general historical process called computerization. In contrast to the industrial society, in which the main thing was the production of material goods, in today’s post-industrial society the production of information becomes the main activity (by information we mean knowledge as information about people, objects, facts, events), phenomena and processes, regardless of their form representation that can be recorded on a tangible medium), and this process is called computerization (hence the term - information society). Such a shift in emphasis is caused, on the one hand, by the fact that humanity is aware of the limited natural (natural) resources of its habitat, and on the other hand, by the emergence of global problems (for example, energy, the environment), a solution that is impossible with previous methods. Information is becoming the main resource for the development of the world community and significantly affects the development of other industries and spheres of life: science, technology, social spheres (cultural communication between people, education). The core values of the information society are:- knowledge; -qualification; - independent thinking; -the ability to work with information and make informed decisions based on it; - awareness not only in a narrow professional field, but also in related fields.

Background. As of today, there is no effective legal mechanism for the bankruptcy of state-owned enterprises in Ukraine, as the ECtHR has repeatedly stated in its decisions. The problem is due to the legal prohibition of liquidation and rehabilitation of such enterprises, as well as the fact that creditors do not have any other tools to protect their rights in Ukraine and are forced to apply to the ECtHR as a last resort. Ultimately, the reality in Ukraine today is that, in practice, the rights of creditors of state-owned enterprises have not been guaranteed or protected by national courts for decades, and isolated appeals to the ECtHR do not solve this problem in general. The aim of the article is to outline specific legislative problems of bankruptcy of state-owned enterprises, as well as to develop proposals for further improvement of the organizational bases of bankruptcy of state-owned enterprises. Materials and methods. The theoretical basis of the article was the scientific works of scientists from different fields of law, who in one way or another investigated the problems of the bankruptcy of state-owned enterprises in Ukraine. The philosophical methods of cognition (dialectical, hermeneutic), general scientific (analysis and synthesis, system-structural, modeling, abstraction, formal-logical, historical) are used and special methods used in jurisprudence (methods of interpreting the rules of law, legal-dogmatic, comparative legal). Results. An analytical analysis of the existing mechanism of bankruptcy of state-owned enterprises in Ukraine after the reform of legislation in 2018 and the adoption of a qualitatively new Code of Ukraine on Bankruptcy Procedures is conducted. Specific problems of the legislation of Ukraine which make impossible the effective legal mechanism of bankruptcy of the state enterprises in Ukraine are outlined. Further directions of improvement of organizational bases of bankruptcy of the state enterprises in Ukraine are offered. Conclusion. The Bankruptcy Procedure Code of Ukraine makes the reorganization of a state-owned enterprise and the sale of the property of a bankrupt state-owned enterprise subject to the political will of the representatives of the bodies authorized to manage the respective state-owned enterprise. The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, as well as the central executive bodies, do not prevent the bankruptcy of state-owned enterprises by their policies and actions. In Ukraine, this problem is extremely acute because, on the one hand, there is objectively no state support for state-owned enterprises that are insolvent, but on the other hand, courts and arbitration trustees cannot eliminate or restore the solvency (reorganization procedure) of state-owned enterprises through legislation. obstacles.

The article considers the digital transformation as a main factor of modern economic development. It has given rise to the simultaneous co-existence in the conceptual field of scientific research of two related terms: innovation economy and digital economy. In order to differentiate their essential characteristics, the different approaches to the definition of these concepts are considered. Based on a critical analysis of existing interpretations of the innovation economy, the main elements of its definition are highlighted. The article presents the genesis of the term “digital economy”, reveals the content of resource-oriented, reproductive, socio-economic, epistemological and transformational approaches to its determination. In addition to the existing ones, an innovative approach is proposed and its essential characteristics are revealed. In order to establish the nature of the relationship and interdependence of the categories under consideration, two hypotheses reflecting the relationship between the innovation and digital economy are formulated based on the approaches prevailing in the scientific literature. The first of them assumes the integration of the digital economy into the innovation economy with the assignment to it of the functionality of industry intensification and information and communication support for innovative development. According to the second hypothesis, the digital and innovative economies are considered as two relatively independent and at the same time intersecting in terms of information components of the definition. There has been established the terminological subordination of the concepts of digital economy and innovation economy: from the perspective of the innovation paradigm of post-industrial society, the digital economy appears to be a new, more advanced form of innovation, which is facilitated by the systematic application of digital methods, technologies and tools. The digital economy, on the one hand, is considered as an integral part of innovation, on the other hand, the gradual loss of the digital tools of innovation status leads to a partial exit of the digital economy from the field of innovation and the formation of a relatively independent level of economic development

Abstract The society is becoming increasingly cosmopolitan as a consequence of driving wave of globalisation. Today we are living in a society with rapid dynamic changes and technologic it can be called the IT era. The one most used paradigm is “knowledge society”. The academic world uses this term for analysing the socio-economic transformation toward so-called post-industrial society. It is also used by politics world when the discourses are about the normative vision that the state, governs should aspire to fulfil or when the economic situation and the link with Universities take into consideration. Often the knowledge society is used in relationship with the economy of innovation or information society or technologic society metaphors that are used for to indicate that the labour market is in rapid change and technological competences are required. The demographic situation is also in rapid evolution: according to UNFPA data in 2019 we are around 7,715 million habitants with 26% of the population aged 0-14, 65% of people aged 15-65 and 9% of people aged more than 65 years. The demographic trends are to have more aged people and less young people. This trend is a new and powerful challenge for society. If we consider that adult percentage of the population is the biggest one and that LLL is seen as a concept that complete the gaps of the formal learning, we can confirm that LLL is a new reply to dynamic exchanges in the society and in the globalised economy. The article purpose is to analyse the different concepts of LLL and its link with ageing. The main focus will be on how LLL can improve the quality of ageing. The used methodology is a review of relevant intervention studies and Political Documents for examining the effectiveness of interventions and how the elder's literacy can be a value for society.

The first part of this article reviews the literature on the knowledge society as well as related concepts like post-industrial society and information society. In the second part the thesis is put forward that the concept of knowledge society no longer designates a trend of social development, but characterizes the social reality of advanced societies in a certain perspective. Knowledge as cultural capital has become a productive force, a major sector of the economy, a power resource both on the national and the international level, and finally the basis of life-chances for the individual and of social ranking. But knowledge society has also produced its own problems: zero growth of financial resources for science and education, overcapacities in military R and D, new dependencies both in the private sector (on experts) and in the international sector (North-South opposition). The future perspectives of knowledge society are ambivalent. The author perceives the nightmare of a registration society on the one hand, and a new Enlightenment on the other.

A project for the long-term strategy of Russian break-through into post-industrial society is suggested which is directed at transformation of the hi-tech complex into the leading factor of economic development. The thesis is substantiated that there is an opportunity to realize such a strategy in case Russia shifts towards the mechanism of the monetary base growth generally accepted in developed countries: the Central Bank increases the quantity of "strong" money by means of purchasing state securities and allocates the increment of money in question according to budget priorities. At the same time for the realization of the said strategy it is necessary to partially restore savings lost during the hyperinflation period of 1992-1994 and default of 1998 and to secure development of the bank system as well as an increase of the volume of long-term credits on this base.

Subject. This article explores the main points of the theory of financial management, developed within the framework of the Western general theory of finance, and the theory of financial management developed in the Soviet Union. Objectives. The article aims to substantiate an idea that these theories are complementary, and their harmonious application can help build the most effective system of financial relations management at both the macro-and microeconomic levels. Methods. For the study, I used a dialectical approach and the methods of comparison, analysis and synthesis, and historical analysis. Results. The article substantiates the point that the methodology of Western financial management theory is aimed at managing external financial flows and combating external financial risks. It notes that the Soviet theory regulates methods and techniques of financial management within the business entity or the State. Conclusions. Theoretical updating of the Soviet practices of financial management combined with the modern achievements of financial management theory will create conditions for the formation of an optimal financial management structure at both the micro-and macroeconomic levels. This can improve the efficiency of financial management, in general. Renewed interest in the theoretical developments of the Soviet Union will contribute to the development of financial science at the present stage.
