This section provides an overview of the materials of the 8th (116th) issue of the journal. According to the editor, the publications of this issue represent a continuation of the development of our concept of theoretical economy. That is, they continue the work that we have been doing on the pages of our publication for one and a half decades. The section shows what this continuation consists of using each published work as an example. It is noted that it manifests itself, although to varying degrees, in the speeches of both well-known and new authors. The main attention in the content of the proposed issue is traditionally given to current problems of theoretical economy, theoretical and economic aspects of the study of new industrialization, modern problems of the world economy, and the work of young researchers.
