Asymmetric Changes in the World Economy

Abstract

This study focuses on the investigation of the problems caused by the developing asymmetry of economic relations in the global context. The relevance of the study is dictated by the contradictions between existing practice of asymmetric economic society and an ongoing domination of “equilibrium” paradigm in economic theory that denies the necessity of asymmetry of economic development and emphasizes only its “negative” character. In the authors' opinion, the current world situations show that development of the global economy has the following tendency: the current asymmetry of political influence in the transatlantic region and digital technologies smoothly moving to developing countries are quite destructive to the current methods of providing the stable economy. Key signs indicate that the center of economic development’s gravity is shifting to developing countries.
