Yakov Silin became a member of Management Board and Presidium of VEO of Russia
April 2, 2018, in St. Petersburg, the Congress of the Free Economic Society of Russia took place, during which Yakov Silin, president of the VEO Ural branch and Rector of Ural State University of Economics, was elected a member of the VEO Management Board, a member of the VEO Presidium and a member of the VEO Council on Youth Policy.
The St. Petersburg International Economic Congress is held for the fourth time and is traditionally devoted to the future of the Russian economy.
This year, around 700 top experts in the field of economics from different countries took part in its work. Scientists and economists from France, Austria, Italy, Greece, China, Great Britain, and Estonia came to the Congress.
"We are dealing with the future of Russia's industrial image," Sergei Bodrunov, president of the Free Economic Society of Russia, told about the goals and tasks of the Congress. "We are studying how the country will develop and live ten, fifty, and one hundred years from now." If several years ago re-industrialization, a new industrial society - all these seemed utopia, today everyone - from scientists to politicians and students - is talking about re-industrialization."
The president of the Free Economic Society of Russia Sergei Bodrunov repeatedly noted "deindustrialization is a tragedy of the Russian economy, the country needs reindustrialization of industry on a new high-tech basis and the evolution of the economic base; to enter the bright industrial future, Russia needs an active industrial policy."
As part of the work of the Congress, the concept of "noonomics" was introduced, which should form the basis of the society of the future. "The growing role of knowledge does not mean that intellectual production replaces material production," Sergei Bodrunov said, "material production itself is becoming much more knowledge-intensive. As a result, there comes a time when in many products the intellectual part starts to significantly exceed the material part. "
Sergei Bodrunov stressed that humanity is now at a crossroads: it either is moving towards "noonomics", or chooses a negative scenario that is fraught with problems up to global catastrophes.
