Noonomy

“The theory of noonomy is one of very few attempts to provide a holistic, theoretically grounded perspective on the socioeconomic development of human civilization. For that reason, this theory, whose premises and content have already been articulated by the author in a series of articles and substantial monographs, has attracted attention both in Russia and abroad. But those who (for whatever reason) cannot study these works in full, or who rely on third-hand information, frequently perceive noonomic ideas in a partial, fragmentary, and sometimes distorted way. This book is conceived as a kind of guide to the fundamental ideas of noonomic theory, making it easier for the reader to understand the theory’s underlying approach and come to terms with its logic. The author’s ideas are communicated here in the form of concise theses and basic definitions. Step by step, the reader is invited to follow the author’s main arguments and conclusions, which are expressed in vivid, concentrated form”–
