Abstract:
The author elaborates on the theoretical potential and practical relevance of the concepts of noonomy (S.D. Bodrunov) and geopolitical economy (R. Desai), which can be considered not only as related phenomena, having common points of intersection with the methodology of classical scientific political economy (K. Marx), as well as modern Marxist trends and a number of other directions of economic thought alternative to the market neoclassical economy, the concept of national innovation systems (K. Freeman), the concept of mental economy and mental products based on creativity (A. Freeman), but also scientifically substantiated platforms capable of offering a fundamentally new (non-capitalist in content and form) model of organization of social and economic life. The latter is especially relevant in light of the fact that neoclassical economic theory, due to a number of objective reasons (financialization, deindustrialization, socio- economic inequality, stagnation, economic crises, etc.) is unable to adequately meet the requirements of the time at present. The author identifies four main stages of the metamorphoses of the market economy, which has recently continued its transformational movement following the order of "neoliberalism - globalization - US empire - pseudo-civil neoliberalism". The author introduces the category "pseudo-civil neoliberalism" into scientific circulation to explain the nature of the change in the context of neoliberalism in the current international agenda. A warning is made that all those who thought they had already witnessed the pinnacle of hypocrisy of neoliberalism will witness its conquest of new heights.
