ABSTRACT
This part introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters. The part provides treatment of the society that has formed in the developed countries of the West as post-economic requires, before passing to the analysis of modern economic, social and political processes. The concept, the application of which is capable of substantially facilitating the deeper understanding both of the main features and character of modern society and of the global transformation that society is living through is hardly used by Western sociologists, economists and philosophers. One of the most interesting and complex sets, is related to the consideration of the reverse effect of the social system of the future forming in the depths of contemporary civilization on the various aspects of social life, and their modification. This effect is especially important with respect to the laws of commodity production as a whole and the value nature of exchange in particular.
