Рассматриваются основные положения монографии В. Л. Иноземцева «Экономика без догм: Как США создают новый экономический порядок». В книге автор раскрывает важнейшие особенности развития глобальной финансовой системы, особенно рельефные в условиях пандемии COVID-19. Центральная идея рецензируемой монографии: в эпоху коронакризиса ведущие развитые страны окончательно перешли в новую финансовую реальность, ключевыми чертами которой стали рост эмиссии, наращивание правительственных обязательств и отрицательные процентные ставки. Иноземцев считает эти макроэкономические особенности индикаторами глубоких изменений в структуре экономик западных стран, указывающих на несостоятельность заявлений о скором завершении эпохи их лидерства в мировой экономике. Наиболее интересной особенностью «Экономики без догм» выступает попытка Иноземцева увязать перемены в финансовой сфере с технико-экономическими сдвигами. Дискуссионный характер работы и обилие оригинальных идей, содержащихся в ней, открывают возможности для дальнейшего обсуждения злободневных социально-экономических проблем.

The article discusses the key ideas of the new book by the respected Russian scholar Vladislav Inozemtsev “Economy without dogmas: How the United States creates a new economic order”. In this book, the author reveals the most important features of the modern financial system, which have become especially prominent during the COVID-19 pandemic. The overriding message of this book is the idea that in the coronavirus era the leading developed economies have finally moved into a new financial reality. According to Inozemtsev, its main characteristics include the following: surging money supply, public debt growth, and negative interest rates. Inozemtsev considers them to be indicators of profound changes in the structure of the Western economies which mark the inconsistency of statements about the imminent end of the Western hegemony in the global economy. We think that the most interesting point in the “Economy without dogmas” is the author’s attempt to link changes in the financial sector with technological and economic shifts. The debatable nature and abundance of original ideas contained in this book open up excellent opportunities for further discussion of urgent socio-economic issues.
