Postindustrial and/or communist society

Postindustrial and/or communist society (by Vladimir Anourin) compares two models of societal development - the formation theory by K. Marx and postindustrial society theory by D. Bell. The comparison of the basic indices of the development, such as: relationship of surplus product and indispensable product, character of labor, intellectualization of labor, type of social organization of the society, level of technologies' development,character of participation, structure of employment, scale of education, character of the development of scholarly knowledge etc., permits the author to conclude that characteristics of communist society by K. Marx coincide with the features of the postindustrial; society as seen by D. Bell.
