Abstract

The fourth technological (industrial) revolution is based primarily on digital technologies, but also on their synthesis with other technologies, both traditional and conventional, as well as advanced, such as nanotechnologies and biotechnologies. The emergence of disruptive technologies causes changes in markets, which can sometimes be revolutionary. Economic as well as other sciences have not yet given the ultimate judgment - will the Fourth Technological Revolution and disruptive technologies contribute to the creation of a welfare society, reduce poverty and facilitate work, or increase material inequality, make distribution of goods more unfair and cause mass unemployment.
