Law and Economics in the Context of Technological Revolutions

In this article the author makes an attempt to include into legal discourse some ideas and provisions of representatives of the neo-Schumpeterian direction of political economic thought. In addition, a brief historical and legal analysis of industrial revolutions is given, which served as a material basis for substantiating the synergy of economic and legal thought in terms of studying the problem of the influence of technological revolutions on public life. Based on the results of the study, the author comes to the conclusion that representatives of the neo-Schumpeterian direction pay due attention to the legal regulation of the economy, especially at the stage of transition to a new technological structure, as a result of which the provisions of this scientific school can be used in the future to predict and justify promising directions for the development of state- legal sphere.
