The author tries to distinguish the main achievements of political economy of socialism, its contribution to modern economic theory and potential in analysis of post-industrial society. To his opinion political economy of socialism is useful for understanding the nature of "real socialism" (i.e. economic system that was really functioning in the USSR and socialist countries), future post-capitalist economic systems and transitional economy. Moreover, this discipline can be helpful in overcoming the market-oriented paradigm dominating now in economic theory.

The paper is devoted to the problems of the USSR scientific and technology (S&T) policy during the “Khrushchev’s decade”, presented as part of the macroeconomic policy. The analysis is carried out in the context of economic reforms and experiments implemented in the country. The main components of S&T policy are revealed, the evolution of its structure and content in comparison with the first post-war decade is shown. In the analysis of S&T policy, the main attention is paid to the reflection of the status of science as a driver of economic development in the context of global challenges and the formation of new techno-economic paradigms. The emphasis on the applied function of research and development (R&D) proclaimed in the framework of S&T policy is presented as a reflection of the traditional for the USSR interpretations of the place and role of science in society under new conditions of scientific and technological revolution as a Soviet counter-thesis to the concepts of post-industrial society. The connection of decision-making mechanisms in the field of S&T policy with general line of Khrushchev’s populism, and the emerging practice of “bureaucratic bargaining” is outlined. The basic trends of approaches to planning in science and coordination in the field of R&D are identified, the directions of organisational restructuring in the governing of the scientific and technical complex are shown. It is concluded that S&T policy in the mid-1950s — 1960s remained a function of economic policy, that a unified S&T policy in the country under N. S. Khrushchev had not been formed. At the same time, the return on innovation remained at a low level.

AbstractThis conceptual article identifies major changes in the 21st century society that gave birth to a new generation of cultural tourists and to an innovative type of cultural tourism business that meets their needs – transformative tourism. The transformative tourism business is analysed as an integral part of a transition from the paradigm of industrial to post-industrial servitized economic system by implementation of three major paradigm innovations. The research related to the development of paradigm innovations in cultural tourism provides an opportunity to supplement the existing knowledge not only about innovative ways of cultural tourism development in rural regions, but also about general challenges facing the rural development in the post-industrial society.

Профессиология — научная дисциплина, находящаяся на стадии становления. Предпосылки актуализации профессиологических исследований связаны с тенденциями современного постиндустриального общества. Оформление методологического аппарата профессиологии, кристаллизация внутренней структуры научной дисциплины требует интенсивного обмена идеями, тесного взаимодействия ученых и практиков, чему и был посвящен нетворкинг «Профессиология — проекция в будущее». Цель мероприятия: анализ современного состояния и перспектив развития профессиологии как области научного знания. В ходе дискуссии по методологическим основам профессиологии участники представили свои взгляды на предмет и структуру данной дисциплины, обсудили проблему неэффективности традиционных методов профессиографирования и поиска новых подходов. Анализ современных тенденций развития мира профессий позволил определить перспективные направления профессиологических исследований: научно обоснованное проектирование новых профессий; изучение трансформации психологических механизмов профессионального и личностного становления в условиях прогнозируемого изменения структуры занятости; экспериментальное апробирование технологических возможностей для устранения факторов профессиональной непригодности, развития профессионально важных качеств, оптимизации функциональных состояний человека в процессе труда. Также были выделены профессиологические технологии проектирования и сопровождения карьеры в современных условиях: профориентация на основе модульного подхода, профессиональные пробы. Professionology is a scientific discipline that is at the stage of formation. The prerequisites for the actualisation of occupational research are related to the trends of modern post-industrial society. The design of the methodological apparatus of professionology, the crystallisation of the internal structure of the scientific discipline, requires an intensive process of exchanging ideas, a close interaction of scientists and practitioners. That was the subject of the networking “Professionology — projection into the future”. The purpose of the event: analysis of the current state and prospects for the development of professionology as a field of scientific knowledge. During the discussion on the methodological foundations of professionology, the participants presented their views on the subject and structure of this discipline, discussed the inefficiency of traditional methods of professionography and the search for new approaches. The analysis of modern trends in the development of the world of professions allowed us to identify promising areas of professional research. One of them: scientifically-based design of new professions. Another: study of the transformation of the psychological mechanisms of professional and personal formation in the conditions of the predicted change in the employment structure. One more is experimental testing of technological capabilities to eliminate the factors of professional unfitness, the development of professionally important qualities, and optimisation of a person’s functional states in the work process. Furthermore, occupational technologies for designing and supporting a career in modern conditions: career guidance based on a modular approach, professional tests were identified.

The article is an attempt to estimate K. Marx's economic theory. The following questions are discussed for this purpose: First, what were the true goals of Marx? Second, to what extent are they realistic and how adequate are the categories constructed and implemented by Marx to nature's and society's trends of growth? Third, is it possible to implement Marxist theory in solving contemporary economic and social problems? The purpose of the analysis is not to praise or criticize Karl Marx and, in general, Marxism, which is not so difficult to do based on historical events and facts, but to realistically evaluate Marx's economic theory and identify all the positive things in his teachings that can be used by economic science to help in overcoming obstacles to the development of modern societies.

During the 20th century, the modern media was born and viewed as an industrial factory-model machine. These powerful media such as film, radio, and television transmitted culture to the passive masses (Enzensberger; 1974). These art forms were divorced of ritual and authenticity and were reproduced to reinforce their prowess (Benjamin, 1936). In the 21st century post-media condition, a process of convergence and evolution toward a social consciousness, facilitated by a many-to-many social network strategy, is underway. Web 2.0 technologies are a catalyst toward an emergence of a collectivist aesthetic consciousness. As the prophecy of a post-industrial society (Bell, 1973) becomes fulfilled, a post-media society emerges whose quest is for knowledge dependent upon economy that barters information. This paper identifies a conceptual model of this recent paradigmatic shift and to identify some of the possibilities that are emerging.

The purpose of the chapter is to find out the meaning of the sustainable development in the post-industrial society in the first half of the 21st century. The financial crisis that started in 2008 is an indicator of how short-term profitability mindsets and related strategies, policies and actions of individuals and individual organizations can cause global economic, ecological and ethical crises. These events have contributed to the judgement that most organizations operate on business models that are not sustainable. The conceptual content contributes to the ongoing discussion about the increasingly important role of sustainable development as a major concern for the profit and non-profit sector that wish to develop the policies that will enable low but sustainable growth of society.

The issue of information support for public administration has always been very acute and, obviously, will never leave the category of topical. By solving it, active integration of advanced scientific and technological achievements into the provision of the process of state administration has been and continues to be. Several upheavals have taken place along the way, the largest of which have been the emergence of wired radio telephony and computerization. Today, such a revolution is digitalization, under the sign of which the post– industrial society exists today and the knowledge economy is being formed. In such conditions, it seems appropriate to consider the problem put forward in the title of this article and specifically characterize the post–industrial society and the knowledge economy in the system of modern economic discourse, consider public administration as a mechanism and an economic problem, and analyze the information support of public administration of the knowledge economy.

This article briefly discusses various definitions and concepts of the so-called information society. The term information society has been proposed to refer to the post-industrial society in which information plays a pivotal role. The definitions that have been proposed over the years highlight five underlying characterisations of an information society: technological, economic, sociological, spatial, and cultural. This article discusses those characteristics. While the emergence of an information society may be just a figment of one’s imagination, the concept could be a good organising principle to describe and analyse the changes of the past 50 years and of the future in the 21st century.
