DEVELOPING ECONOMIC KNOWLEDGE FOR THE KNOWLEDGE-BASED ECONOMY

Over the past two decades, the world economy has undergone some major changes including the processes of globalization, mobilization (industrial use of personal mobile devices), Internetization, "cloudization" (exit to cloud technologies), intellectualization (SMART-revolution), etc. Social, personal and humanitarian influences on the economy have sharply increased - the stock market has become more important than the trade market; the activities of individuals have overturned the economy (Jobs, Gates, Page, Brin, Zuckerberg, Buffet, Musk, Soros, Branson, and others). All the four areas covered by the concept of "economy" - economic theory, economic practice, economic policy and economy management have changed considerably. The education sector and particularly economic education is the only one that has remained practically unchanged. And in some countries like Russia, it has even degraded. The development of the knowledge economy and economic knowledge are intertwined and deeply integrated. Students are the most advanced and active part of the population, and if they are not engines of organic progress, the society cannot get advanced.
