Abstract:
The paper gives a detailed idea about the phenomenon of creativity as an element of economic and, more broadly, socio-philosophical research. A comparative analysis of noonomy and the concept of "mental economy" by A. Freeman is carried out. The author emphasizes the fundamental
difference between noonomy and the economy of mental objects both in terms of volume and content. The key role of a person as a carrier of creative potential during the transition to a qualitatively new level of technological development, socio-economic relations and institutions is shown. In the theory of noonomy, knowledge-intensive industrial material production is characterized as a self-acting system under human control. Self-motivation becomes the essential feature of creativity. Labor as an economic phenomenon and an element of production is transformed into activity – this is how the transition to a post-economic way of meeting social needs is carried out, from which a new post-economic reality is born – the space for noonomy.
