Economic Motives

The article is devoted to the main approaches of Soviet economists to the issue of introducing the achievements of scientific and technological progress into production related to the experience of economic development of the USSR. Among the research provisions, general economic planning stands out as a key tool for the balanced dissemination of the elements of scientific and technological revolution in the interests of the entire population. Practice showed the validity of the advantages of socialism noted by researchers in a number of spheres. However, there were also significant imbalances in economic development, which were insufficiently worked out theoretically. The successes were concentrated mainly in the important strategic industries, while the production of consumer goods faced systemic difficulties. Ultimately, these imbalances started growing, and the intensive component of economic growth began declining. This tendency is substantiated by a system of motivations at different management levels, among employees. Public enthusiasm and intangible motives were substantial but limited, while economic incentives were insufficient. Nevertheless, despite the current dominance of an economic system being fundamentally different from the Soviet model, there are prerequisites of the growing relevance of turning to Soviet theories and practices in economic development based on advanced technologies. This is due to a significant degree of similar content of technologies attributed to the fourth industrial revolution, compared with the post-war stage of scientific and technological revolution. The new nature of technologies presupposes greater calculation possibilities in planning, the prospects for widespread automation of production, coupled with the need to form new, non-economic motives of work. Similar problems were widely discussed in the Soviet academic sources.

The fourth industrial revolution of human society is also known as the “world’s new technological revolution,” which has brought human society into the information age and has had an extremely important impact on economic development and educational reform. In the information age, economic development and wealth creation are dominated by the acquisition, mastery, distribution, and utilization of information instead of capital. Therefore, the cultivation of talents is very important, and educational reform is imperative with the rise of the world’s new technological revolution.

Introduction. The emergence of the term "New Economy" is associated with the development of modern electronic information technology, the formation of the information system of the Internet. The new economy is a systemic phenomenon that is gradually formed within the post-industrial period of economic development through the introduction of scientific and technological progress and innovative management methods, intellectualization of human capital, the use of advanced technologies and scientific and economic sectors of the national economy. The new economy is formed on the basis of the intellectualization of production and all economic life. The purpose of the paper is the identification and study of the term “New Economy”, analysis of its advantages and disadvantages. Consideration of characteristics and priority directions in development, identification of the basis of the new economy. Describe the benefits of the new economy. Result. The main characteristics of the new economy are knowledge. They are considered as a productive factor and a strategic resource. In a “new economy” a product is produced, wealth is the result of the application of knowledge, which is both a resource used to create goods and services, and an element of infrastructure. The new economy is a systemic phenomenon that is gradually formed within the post-industrial period of economic development through the introduction of scientific and technological progress and innovative management methods, intellectualization of human capital, the use of advanced technologies and knowledge-intensive industries. Conclusion. The above features allow us to define the "New Economy" as a process of formation and development of the world economy, which is global in nature, subject to social progress and economic growth is achieved using a new factor of production – constantly updated knowledge (“knowledge economy”) includes the "knowledge economy" of its mechanism of knowledge production, infrastructure and resource potential.

Empirical Record

The return of growth theory to center stage in mainstream economics provides opportunities for historians to reconsider the forces shaping longer-term economic development. A key motivation for developing new growth modeling strategies lay in the desire to reestablish contact between theory and the empirics of economic growth. By postulating diminishing returns to capital, the traditional neoclassical paradigm precludes the sustaining of per capita growth in the absence of exogenous technological progress. Since historical records of economic development offer scant evidence for declining per capita growth, disenchantment grew with a theoretical perspective that leaves the crucial part of the empirical record unexplained, prompting a search for alternative modeling strategies.

‘The condition of England’ considers why the upswing in technological progress caused such widespread suffering for so many people for so long. It begins with a broad question: how did the technological revolution change the structure of society? It looks at social tables, dividing the population into six social classes—the landed classes, bourgeoisie, lower middle class, farmers, workers, and cottagers and paupers—and how they changed from 1688 to 1867. It is no surprise that the share of national income going to farmers and land owners declined during the Industrial Revolution, but why did workers fall behind capitalists and why did some workers do so much better than others?

The Impact

The article examines the evolution of advanced technologies and its impact on the development of the economy. The processes of mutual influence of advanced industrial technologies and trends in the formation of technological structures attract the attention of economists, engineers, and sociologists. A human being is constantly trying to conceive the algorithms for assessing mutual influence of advanced technologies on technological progress, on global and national economies. Scientific discussion will lead to valuable practical results if scientists speak «the same language», use a unified interpretation of technical, economic, statistical, social terms. It is crucial to place social aspects of technological progress in the forefront since technological development is to solve the problem of the most technological or economical satisfaction of human needs. The purpose of this work is to investigate the existence of mutual relationship between the use of intellectual property and the economic development of Russia’s manufacturing industries. The methodology is based on the principles of the consistency of scientific research, objectivity, causation of phenomena in the economy. The paper applies the methods of economic and statistical analysis and presents a brief overview of scientific publications on the impact of advanced technologies on economic development for the period of 2018-2020. The author puts forward a hypothesis that an empirical analysis of advanced technologies in the production of electronic products will show the degree of patents influence on industry productivity. The findings demonstrate that technologies have a weak influence on productivity both on the economy at large and in manufacturing industry. Therefore, patenting the technologies should be scientifically substantiated and it is imperative to confirm the promise of advanced technologies for sustainable development.

Abstract Remittances from the Vietnamese diaspora have played an important role in Vietnam's post-Cold War economic development, providing important inputs to a range of household spending areas, from education to health care. In the case of Vietnam, however, remittances are also caught up with memories and traumas of war, betrayal, separation, and exodus. This article traces that history and illustrates how Vietnam's particular post-war refugee and remittance situations and channels illuminate networks and exacerbate inherent contradictions and comparisons in the mobile flows of finance, people, and goods across borders. Examining genealogies of remittance reception and management offers insight and intervention into analytical assumptions of the distancing and mediating functions inherent to classic conceptions of money, as well as the reciprocity and recognition perceptions mapped onto gift economies.
