The proposed thematic collection contains materials from a scientific conference held in December 2006 at the Institute of Economics of the Russian Academy of Sciences on the topic "Socialism after socialism: a new intellectual vector in post-socialist countries." The articles of the collection identify and summarize new trends in social thought on the problems of assessing the pre-reform socio-economic structure, assessing the course and results of ongoing economic and social transformations, and the accumulated ideological and model ideas of subsequent social development. The attention of the authors is focused on the following range of issues: the problems and dead ends of state socialism, the socio-economic nature of Soviet-type societies, the economy of scarcity and regularity, economic and social reforms in post-socialist countries, ideas and models of post-capitalist development, the role of theoretical knowledge in the development of society. Among the authors of the collection are leading scientists, academicians and corresponding members of the Russian Academy of Sciences, researchers of the main humanitarian institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences, as well as Moscow State University. The book is intended for teachers, researchers and graduate students, as well as all those interested in the socio-economic problems of the development of modern society.
