Abstract:
This article is devoted to the theoretical understanding of the concept of sharing economy. The research examines the views of Russian and foreign scientists on this concept. The article confirms the thesis about the existence of conceptual confusion regarding the concept of sharing economy. The paper presents the factors influencing the development of sharing, considers the main segments of the sharing economy. As a result of the conducted research of the theoretical base, the authors cite the specifics of the sharing economy, and also propose an author’s definition of the concept, according to which the sharing economy is a set of economic and non-economic relations in which satisfaction of needs is carried out without the right of ownership on the part of the consumer or the conclusion of other long-term agreements. The paper focuses on the fact that the sharing economy is a stage of movement towards a new society, a new way of organizing the economy. The authors of the study refer to the concept of noonomy by Bodrunov S.D. One of the key conclusions of the work is the need to focus on noovalues in the course of further development of sharing, which will make it possible to make the transition to noonomy, as well as neutralize the existing contradictions and possible risks of the sharing economy

Abstract:
The article states that, in contrast to the neoliberal hegemonic policies and modernization of the United States and the West, the Belt and Road Initiative advocates for countries to freely choose their own development vector as part of mutually beneficial cooperation, a “green” community, and the joint use of work products. As part of a vigorous intensification of Chinese-Russian cooperation, the idea of strategic joint development of the Far East is being disclosed, in particular, the development of the land and sea Economic Belt of the New Silk Road in northeast China. This initiative consists of two main and auxiliary hubs based on five core cities, combining five strategic projects into one regional development center. It is emphasized that civilized countries and peoples of the world must unite and, through joint efforts, heavily resist the provocative onslaught and hegemonic dominance of the United States and the West in the economic, political and military sectors, continue the struggle for genuine multilateralism and the construction of a Community of Shared Future for Mankind, initiated by the countries of the South, such as China and Russia.
Keywords: noonomy, economic integration, advanced development strategy, EAEU, contradictions of the Western world, strategic planning, Community with a Shared Future for Mankind, Belt and Road Initiative.

Abstract:
The 2008 global financial crash and its ongoing spiraling consequences mark the failure of neoliberalism as a strategy of exit from the crisis following the collapse of the post-World War II international Bretton Woods Keynesian framework. Technological progress per se cannot solve the strategic impasse as the problems in productivity growth demonstrate. Modernization itself has to overcome the obstacles posed by a fundamental crisis of late modernity in the epoch of advanced capitalist decline noonomy provides an open field of research of the relations between scientific- technological progress and political economy in the 21st century. It focuses on the progress of integration of science into a cognition based social production without exploitation. A comparative study with the “general intellect” concept advanced by Karl Marx in Grundrisse and the related debates on this topic during the last decades could be fruitful. In this context, noonomy provides new insights and possibilities for a re-elaboration of a socialist strategy of exit from the global crisis

Abstract:
This article aims at clarifying what is noonomy, how it differs from a knowledge-based economy in a neoliberal sense and what are the preconditions to achieve it. Furthermore, the author discusses the development of capitalism into imperialism and the evolution and changes of form if imperialism. She explains in five theses what is the present form of imperialism and what are the mechanisms and powers that are working on dismantling it and forming a multipolar world. She concludes that with the economic and societal leadership of China and military leadership of Russia the front of the decolonizer and anti-imperialist forces is broadening, and imperialism is weakening through delinking and the formulation of a multipolar world order that opens the way a better society that is based on a true and broad knowledge and can be called to noonomy or socialism as well

Abstract:
As the second and fifth largest economies in the world, China and India have embraced the vicissitudes of world economy and re-adjusting their policies to strengthen their economies as well as to usher in a multipolar world. Both have launched their long-term strategic plans for self-strengthening in Made in China 2025, “socialist modernisation” by 2049 by China and Vikas (Development)/Viksit Bharat (Developed India) 2047 campaigns by India. In its current 14th Five Year Plan, China had announced a shift towards an innovation-driven model, emphasising technological advancements and domestic consumption. India had also launched Make in India, Skill India, Digital India and other plans. Despite challenges, both of these countries are currently experiencing massive social transformations in human resources development, talent generation, industrial growth specifically knowledge economy and other related fields. Both China and India have also been aware of the socio-economic stress that globalisation has set in and hence have undertaken social welfare policies like addressing “san nong”, “jandhan” (direct bank transfers) and other schemes. It is argued that, despite problems, the efforts of China and India are transforming the socio-economic fabrics of these countries
