Formation of the creative class and decline of the development state

The concept of a network society has made generalization of tendenciesof networking and has deduced its discussion on higher level: networking conducts to society transformationas a whole. Now processes of networking include four basic aspects - globalization, easingof institute of the national state, a fragmentation of national societies and lifting of a creative class.Torepresentatives of a creative class carry workers, whose basic productive force are their unique creativeintellectual and esthetic abilities. The human capital of creative workers becomes fixed capital of creativemanufacture, hence, these workers lose "proletarian" characteristics.Globalization means formationof global networks of a creative class, and a fragmentation - non-uniformity of its placing when"creative" it is possible to name faster any certain city, than all country in which it is located.Processesof networking have from the point of view of national interests not only positive, but also negativesides. Nevertheless, development of a creative class is necessary, as if the nation doesn't form own,national focused creative class, it becomes inevitable object of manipulation from the outside. Presencein territory of the country of the central centers of crossing of networks of a creative class allows thenation to derive some benefit from increase in network streams. If such knots aren't present, there is awashing away for limits of the country of few available representatives of a creative class, hence, lossof ability of the nation to self-development, a perpetuating of technological and cultural dependence.Examples show limitation of efficiency of model of the state of development. Attempts of realizationof scale breakthrough projects by the modern Russian state are obviously doomed to a failure.Now more probable successful subject of development the special state organization, and networkstructures of a creative class is represented not. Thus the state, as a matter of fact, not in a condition notonly to operate activity of these networks, but also effectively to "make" a creative class. It turns outthat the basic strategy of the state there is a following to a principle laissez-faire.However far not willto feel comfortably in the minimum state which completely has refused performance of function ofsocial security. The conflict between classes and in a creative class is possible also not only concerningsocial and economic interests, but also concerning culture, values, a way of life. There is a problem -how to avoid destructive consequences of the conflict. The comprehensible compromise at nationallevel is hardly achievable. In this connection it is necessary to consider a basic utopia of the minimumstate as a possible variant of a solution of a problem. The realistic variant of the minimum state shouldlean against federalism principles.
