Book Review
Digital Law Journal. Vol. 2, No. 1, 2021, p. 94-96 Slobodan Adžić / Everything is Digital: Getting Ready for the Inevitable Changes The book Post-Industrial Society: The Choice between Innovation and Tradition (2020) presents the results of research into the formation and functioning of post-industrial development institutions: development funds or banks in developed countries (USA, France, Norway, etc.) and developing countries (China, Russia, UAE, Indonesia, Vietnam, Kazakhstan, etc.). It is pointed out that, for all advanced and emerging economies that are simultaneously at the start of a breakthrough to a new technological order, a strategy for achieving target results should be reasonably chosen. This can be a strategy of reindustrialization based on the growth of industrial production (tradition), or a fundamentally innovative strategy of new industrialization (innovation).
Combining the work of recognized scientists and specialists in various academic fields, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of the aspects of post-industrial development, highlighting the driving forces and limitations, strategies, sources of funding, tools, and technologies for implementation. This book is pertinent to those readers who are interested in the specifics of implementing strategies for technological improvement in industry and the service sector in developed and developing countries.
As a result, the books under review represent comprehensive studies of the influence of new progressive technologies on business and society, including the formation of post-industrial society and digital economy. Moreover, their scientific and practical nature ensures their high theoretical and empirical value. These books indeed have made a valuable contribution to the fields of economics and management.
