ABSTRACT

The 'technological progress—economic growth' (EG) relationship has thus become an integral part of the universal 'Man-Nature' relationship. The key nature of the relationship between scientific and technological revolution (STR) and EG is determined by the content, scope, and rate of development of science and technology. In an interesting article, R. Poujade notes the difficulties in resolving the need for full collection of reliable data about the environment in this or that region, determining the cost of separate elements of the environment, making a quantitative evaluation of a number of harmful consequences of scientific-technological progress. The problems of the STR-EG are broadly covered in the comprehensive headings of 'industry'. The 'solution' is attained, not only by creating more than 20 main headings, directly pointing to ties between industrial production and scientific-technological progress, but, also, by forming a great number of standard headings of the same nature related to branches and factors of production, to countries and regions.
