The basic theses of Professor S.D. Bodrunov’s theory of noonomy are under analysis; the article substantiates the relevance of the development of socialization elements of economic relations, the transition towards the model of the New Industrial Society of the second generation (NIO.2), and finally towards noonomy. It is revealed that changes in the material and technological basis of production founded on knowledge-intensive technologies lead to a global transformation of society itself, in which simulative needs will be replaced by the authentic humanistic qualities and values.
