- Abstract
- Paradoxes refer to the contradictions, real or supposed oddities and anomalies of post-industrial development, and its analysis at various geographical scales, from global to local. Apart from two paradoxes related to the looseness of the term itself, four more are examined, namely: (1) resources flow into activities, countries and regions with labor productivity that remains the same or drops and does not increase, like it did under industrialization; (2) the today’s world of knowledge and modernization is replete with false news, innovations, and sometimes shocking relapses of mass ignorance; (3) information is mobile and ubiquitous, while information and business actors settle selectively, in few countries, normally in large cities and their clusters; (4) areas requiring external assistance may be post-industrial “involuntarily” for the weakness of other economic sectors and development models. The article does not address all the post-industrial paradoxes observed at the global level and within countries. The judgment on their nature and its assessment depends on the level (scale). Paradoxes often just seem so, since they may have quite rational and explicable reasons. In addition, it can be difficult to separate post-industrial shifts and problems from their companions: globalization and deglobalization, the growth of human mobility, knowledge, technology and its barriers, urbanization and counter-urbanization, etc. This complicates the study of post-industrial phenomena as such and partly creates the identified paradoxes, but at the same time does not cancel the tasks of their scientific study.
