In the paper the emphasis is on the analogy of Kuhn's model of the structure of scientific revolutions and the concept of technological paradigm as a kind of a material premise of the cyclical development of the capitalist economy during the last two centuries. The implicit starting point is the attitude, according to which the dynamics of economic development within certain time intervals is predominantly determined by disruptive technologies, which de facto play the main role in designing the pillars of different technological paradigms.
Key Words: scientific paradigm, technological paradigm, disruptive technologies, cyclical movements of the economy
KONCEPT TEHNOLOŠKE PARADIGME I CIKLIČNO KRETANJE PRIVREDE
U radu se apostrofira analogija Kunovog modela strukture naučnih revolucija i koncepta tehnološke paradigme kao svojevrsne materijalne premise cikličnog razvoja kapitalističke privrede tokom poslednja dva veka. Pri tom se implicitno polazi od stava da dinamiku ekonomskog razvoja u određenim vremenskim intervalima dominantno determinišu disruptivne tehnologije, koje de fakto u odlučujućem stepenu dizajniraju noseće stubove različitih tehnoloških paradigmi.
Ključne reči: naučna paradigma, tehnološka paradigma, disruptivne tehnologije, ciklično kretanje privrede
