Анотація

The article studies theoretical approaches to understanding knowledge and their role in the development of society. Defined as the main directions of economic theory (institutionalism, neoclassicism and Keynesianism), to one degree or another affect the issues of knowledge, based on the characteristics of their subject and research methodology. The importance of studying the foundations of economic knowledge within the framework of the evolutionary approach is substantiated by the well-known theories of transformation of society (post-industrial society, information capitalism, information society, information economy), where attention is focused on the onset of a new stage in the development of society, changes in its structure, the emergence of new social forces and knowledge is «core» of such models of society. The modern directions of economic theory are considered, in the framework of institutionalism – the development of the stock of knowledge is an important condition for achieving goals that require training, investment in skills and knowledge. The theory of the concept of information economy, based on the recognition of the exceptional weight of information, where innovation is based on the process of knowledge transformation, linking the innovation economy with the processes of obtaining, disseminating and using knowledge, has been studied. It is proved that the leading representatives of economic thought interpreted knowledge in different ways depending on the context; however, they have always noted it as one of the fundamental foundations of the social and economic structure of society. The concept of the knowledge economy is a synthesis of the main scientific schools and trends with the combination of constructive provisions and an emphasis on ensuring a profound transformation of economic systems on the basis of the revolutionary value of knowledge for development. The essence of the concept of «knowledge economy» is investigated, combining theories and ideas in four areas: philosophy (epistemology), mathematics (cybernetics), economics (informatics) and national accounting (statistical analysis). It is determined that in the modern concept of economic theory, the essence of the knowledge economy is transmitted through a set of characteristics that reveal their content. It has been established that the knowledge economy is the core of the modern model for the development of economic systems, namely, a tool to accelerate the pace of scientific and technological progress and the growth of the nation's well-being
