The efficiency of economic development in the context of globalization and international integration is largely determined by the human capital accumulated and realized in the country. Modern science-intensive technologies require highly skilled specialists, engineers, and workers of technical professions. This becomes possible when using human capital of a new qualitative level, which makes it necessary to solve a number of methodological problems in terms of qualitative changes in the process of its formation. The aim of the study is to analyze the main approaches to the assessment of human capital and to develop proposals for its most objective assessment at various levels of manifestation — individual, micro- and macroeconomic. The article discusses the main methods for evaluating human capital: retrospective (based on the costs of its production) and perspective (based on income derived from the use of this capital). The proposed indicators of the qualitative state of human capital are aimed at its assessment from a new perspective, taking into consideration current global trends in the formation of innovative economy and digitalization.

Analogies to the Peloponnesian War have been misapplied in studies of US–China relations, especially regarding the so-called “Thucydides trap” of inevitable conflict between an established power and a rising power. This article addresses methodological problems with deriving policy lessons from political theory and ancient history. It then argues that Thucydides is more applicable to overcoming a pattern of leadership mistakes reminiscent of Athens’ populist politics, erosion of international agreements and mismanagement of alliances. To meet the China challenge, the United States must renew its national strength with good governance, productive interdependence, and sustained investment in human capital.

The international strategy for the development of competitive advantages based on digitalization has not only become a powerful driver of socio-economic and technological spheres, including science and education, but also created new, digital risks that require their identification, assessment and countermeasures. The study is aimed at assessing the digitalization trends of the Russian economy in comparison with global trends, identifying digital risks and directions for the development of economic education and science. The analysis showed that the highest level of digitalization is observed in the public and financial sectors, it is also noted in some industries, which is associated with robotization and the introduction of integrated platforms. The digital environment develops methods of accounting, analysis, diagnostics and control, changing the priorities and vector of assessing business efficiency, primarily for companies associated with the creation of databases, information resources, computer software, information processing, the key capital of which is intellectual capital (digital , human, reputational). To date, the methods of business analysis of companies in the IT sector are practically not developed by economic science, and there are no officially recognized ones yet. It is clear that the information base for such analysis should be much wider than the traditionally used one, including big data analytics. At the same time, one should pay attention to the fact that the analysis of the transparency of the activities of the IT sector companies indicates their informational secrecy. Thus, the article examines digital risks caused by the growth of digital transactions in economic transactions, an increase in the share of digital assets and intellectual capital, a change in key indicators for assessing the effectiveness of companies in the digital economy, as well as the transformation of economic professions and the increased requirements of employers for the professional competencies of personnel. In this aspect, points of potential demand for information and analytical competencies and professional values have been identified, which serve as a navigator of the development processes of modern economic education and science.

      Abstract: Ancient Egyptians and other ancient civilizations relied on a theory that binds all the components of the universe to each other. Because this approach is different from the rules of modern science, we find it difficult to explain how they founded their civilization in such a wonderful way. I have put a conception for the principles of this theory and it was able to explain all phemenona in the universe, materialistic and theological.(*) It depends on an Idea that the whole universe consists of four primary units, of which pairs are formed and the proportion of units in each pair determines their relation to each other and their relation to them in accordance with the principles of this theory It is simple in its totality to the extent that the non-specialist can understand the most complex interpretations of phenomena in simple way it remove the puzzles between philosophy and physics. It is the missing link between the oddity of quantum mechanics and classical physics. This theory will lead us to conceptualize the universe with a new perspective: that the universe is connected to all its components, so Any change at any point in the universe will change the rest of its components. This Theory can explain Phenomenon by different way; such as space-time, the origin of the universe and the interpretation of ambiguity in ancient civilizations.  


The article determines a significant importance of knowledge management as a key technology for the development of an enterprise in an innovative knowledge-based economy. The main features of the enterprise development as an open dynamic system are systematized and characteristics of the knowledge economy and innovative economy are determined. Following the above characteristics it is proved that the formation of an innovative economy is impossible without new knowledge and its commercialization, and the basis of the knowledge economy are innovations in various fields of activity. The given types of economies should be further considered not as separate concepts, but as integral components of the innovative knowledge-based economy. The theoretical approaches to the definition of the essence of knowledge management at the enterprise are systematized and their interrelation with the innovation process and innovative development is shown through the creation of new knowledge, increasing the efficiency of innovation development and the formation of innovative abilities of the innovatively active employees. The goals, tasks, functions, principles, stages, methods and methods of knowledge management in innovative knowledge-based economy are considered. The typology of contradictions in the innovative activity of the enterprise is given; the essence of economic, information, technological, organizational, psychological, structural and social contradictions is revealed. Technologies of knowledge management that contribute to eliminating contradictions and innovative development of the enterprise are defined. It is substantiated that different types of contradictions in the innovative activity of an enterprise can be eliminated by means of knowledge management technologies, which, as a result, causes qualitative changes at the enterprise. As the key signs of development are qualitative changes and elimination of contradictions, the use of knowledge management in the conditions of an innovative knowledge-based economy will contribute to the development of the enterprise.
