The article examines general aspects of socio-economic differentiation of the population
in terms of wealth and indicators of real wealth. Scientifically developed methods and
criteria for evaluation of social processes are applied in public policy in almost all coun-
tries of the world. However, modern science has not sufficiently investigated the latest
social phenomena that are brought by digital era in the sphere of social life. Thus, neto-
cracy appears to be a new and understudied phenomenon. It is named as a particular
social group, using IT and digital programming methods as the main factors of post-
industrial society, the seizure of power and real wealth on a global scale.
Keywords
: socio-economic differentiation of the population, the social state, social poli-
cy, real wealth, prosperity, normal level of prosperity, poverty, misery, law of unforeseen
consequences, netocracy signs, post-industrial society, technological base of netocracy,
cost of competitiveness.
