The modern information space is characterized by the active and rapid formation of the network principle of interpersonal communications, which significantly changes the foundations of the communication process. Today, new technologies for creating information products are being actively developed. Information technology and innovation are becoming the main products of the post-industrial economy. Currently, the mechanism of trade transactions with those types of intangible goods is being fundamentally changed, people have the opportunity to choose sources of information, the number of channels is growing, etc. That ultimately leads to increased information openness of the world. The development of the Internet leads to an increase in interpersonal communications, and that, in turn, changes the public structure of society. The article attempts to analyse the understanding of the current changes that the information globalization entails.

The paper builds econometric models that allow us to evaluate the influence of the main productionfactors, defining the level of labour income in the country. Capital/labour ratio, human capital and new technology explain over 70% of earned income. The effect of changes in the level of human capital on labor income surpasses the effect of changes in capital/labour ratio.The impact of capital/labour ratio has been steadily declining, whereas the influence of human capital and new technologies has been increasing. These arenew factors, the most important ones for the development of post-industrial economy. The growth of their influence shows that the economic system of the country adapts to the prevailing institutional conditionsunfavorable for Russia’s industrial economy.

The article considers the process of improving the management of logistics and marketing behavior of innovation clusters in territorial communities in the context of digitalization of society and the online market. Attention is focused on the need for territorial communities to form an institutional environment favorable for the development of innovation clusters. It is noted that the best synergetic effect from the functioning of innovation clusters is achieved mainly in a post-industrial economy with a supercompetitive environment.

Assessments of the relationship among law, innovation, and economic growth often begin with one or more propositions of law or law practice and predict how changes might affect innovation or business practice. This approach is problematic when applied to questions of regional economic development, because historic and contemporary local conditions vary considerably. This paper takes a different tack. It takes a snapshot of one recovering post-industrial economy, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. For most of the 20th century, Pittsburgh's steelmakers were leading examples worldwide of American economic prowess. Pittsburgh was so vibrant with industry that a late 19th century travel writer called Pittsburgh "hell with the lid taken off," and he meant that as a compliment. In the early 1980s, however, Pittsburgh's steel economy collapsed, a victim of changing worldwide demand for steel and the industry's inflexible commitment to a large-scale integrated production model. As the steel industry collapsed, the Pittsburgh region collapsed, too. Unemployment in some parts of the Pittsburgh region peaked at 20%. More than 100,000 manufacturing jobs disappeared. Tens of thousands of residents moved away annually. Over the last 30 years, Pittsburgh has slowly recovered, building a new economy that balances limited manufacturing with a broad range of high quality services. In 2009, President Barack Obama took note of the region's rebirth by selecting the city to host a summit of the Group of 20 (G-20) finance ministers. The paper describes the characteristics of Pittsburgh today and measures the state of its renewal. It considers the extent, if any, to which law and the legal system have contributed to Pittsburgh's modern success, and it identifies lessons that this Pittsburgh case study might offer for other recovering and transitioning post-industrial regions.

Chapter 1 provides an overview of the book and its two interwoven puzzles: what are the predictors of Americans’ trade preferences in today’s post-industrial economy, and why do so few politicians attempt to take advantage of these preferences? After providing historical context for American trade policy, the chapter outlines an answer: that the changing American economy has untethered traditional sources of trade sentiment, resulting in diverse, countervailing, and difficult to mobilize sources of trade sentiment. As a result, in most political districts, discussion of trade has fallen by the wayside; and trade policy is increasingly being formulated and conducted outside of standard systems of voter-driven accountability. The chapter places this new argument in the context of existing literature on the domestic and international politics of trade policy and provides a chapter by chapter summary of the book.

The advent of the global digital revolution and the phenomenal advances in information and communication technologies (ICTs), have today provided an opportunity for the much-vaunted African renaissance and a chance for the continent to leapfrog over some of the enormous barriers of underdevelopment and claim a place in the post-industrial economy. The new technology has not only liberated the human brain from many mundane tasks but it has enhanced our productivity in many dramatic ways. It is becoming increasingly clear that the availability and use of ICTs is pre-requisite for economic and social development in this era of globalization.
