principles foresees solution of three global economic problems – resources allocation,

Russian scientist O. Ursul, basing on teachings of V. I. Vernadsky believes that
sustainable development as a process "starts" in a post-industrial society, and "finishes"

patterns is typical for accidental processes of a catastrophic type; in the absence of
direction changes cannot accumulate, and therefore the process loses only
