The general theory of the economic formation evolution and innovative transformations

In modern economic science, the theory of socio-economic formations of K. Marx is practically not studied, with the exception of review historical works and theoretical publications on political economy that examine the crisis of capitalism. We believe that there is a certain potential for the development and use of this theory to remove individual theoretical contradictions, which can serve as the basis for a revision of economic evolution as a whole. The work aims to demonstrate how economic evolution is developing from the point of view of changing the economic formation through innovative renewal of factors and transformation of the mode of production, which is ensured by a number of solved problems. In particular, a refined system of production factors is proposed: land, labor, capital (means of production), energy and information. In the historical aspect, the process of emergence of innovations in production factors is generalized, taking into account the properties of economic formations. A process of sequential transformation of the formation has been established depending on changes in the priority factor and the main mode of production. The results of the work were achieved by using formational and factor analysis, as well as the use of heuristic methods, in particular structural-semantic modeling to clarify the theory of formations. The formational dependence of the current mode of production on the energy factor and the increasing role of the information factor have been reliably determined. Theoretical conditions for the transformation of the economic formation with maximum interaction of all factors and modes of production, which can be called technological singularity, have been identified. It has been suggested that there will be several phases in the further development of the economic formation based on the sequential liberation of each factor of production from labor exploitation. The work presents ideas of interest to economics, philosophy, history and futurology.
