    Attitude towards loan interest in Christendom
    (Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University Press, 2021) Gogorishvili, Irina
    The article presents an analysis of the views and teachings of the Christian religion, philosophers of the Hellenistic period and Christian leaders. Although usury and its consequences were frowned upon and unacceptable in all civilizations and religions, it has existed all the time. The attitude of the Christian religion and church laws did not always require the prohibition of usury. The document notes that this was facilitated by the vagueness associated with the prohibition of interest-bearing loans in the New Testament. A decree passed by the Catholic Church in 1836 granted full legitimacy to interest-bearing borrowing, which led to the rapid growth of the banking sector. The process of international regulation of the credit sector by the Basel Committee has strengthened the social responsibility of lenders and usurers, which heightens Christian values in this area of the economy.

    Progress is the driving force behind changes in state and business economic policies
    (Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University Press, 2018) Gogorishvili, Irina; Gvelesiani, Revaz
    The paper examines the relationship between the state's economic policy and progress as a fundamental public value. On the basis of their analysis, opinions were developed in connection with the criticism of the knowledgeoriented cognition theory. Criticism is not directed against progress but only against the position that overestimates the cognitive abilities of the mind. The digital world created by scientific and technological progress completely changes the attitude towards progress (as a social value). The general goal of the policy of development of the digital economy is also considered in the work. It is justified that this goal is constantly changing. This happens because the goal follows from the postmodern paradigm of development processes and focuses on people.

    The European Union's new approach to industrial policy
    (Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University Press, 2023) Gvelesiani, Revaz; Gogorishvili, Irina
    The EU has always understood that its current prosperity is based on the ability of a regional association to create and master industrial innovations as a key factor in ensuring economic growth and social progress. Today, industrial innovation is the main driver of economic and social prosperity. They accelerate economic growth, create new and more attractive jobs, provide social mobility, prevent negative climate change and improve the quality of life. At the same time, the very nature of industrial innovation is changing. Their life cycle is drastically reduced. Complexity is increasing as a result of the convergence of different types of technologies. Profits from industrial innovations are concentrated in the hands of individual companies that dominate the world market, which have managed to monopolize their creation and distribution through the use of their unique properties. Innovations are increasingly focused on the buyer, who is looking not for a product or service, but for a solution to his specific problem. He acts today as the initiator and creator of progress, and not as a consumer of what has been achieved. Research scientists show that modern industrial innovations are characterized by relatively low operating costs compared to traditional ones.
