The introduction of the digital economy raises many social, economic and political problems, thereby contributing to the transformation of the consciousness of society and man. The most acute nature of the political problems associated with the state of a new formation, is called post-capitalist. Based on the methods and methodology of political, economic and soci-ological analysis, the author of the article explores some problems of the digital economy and the post-capitalist development model. The author discusses the future political and economic development of the world and the state of a new formation. In this regard, the author offers and justifies the name of the new formation – digitalism-, which transfers a part of eco-nomic, social and political relations from reality to the virtual world. Digitalism is a system that enables a person to live, earn, and be realized in a virtual system of modern information communications. Unlike its predecessors, digitalism is a completely new system (as far as the form of its existence-the global network-was laid recently), which operates according to its own laws and within the framework of its established orders. If all the previous political and economic systems assumed the unification of people to advance any global goals, whether it be a world revolution or global capitalism, then digitalism eschews large human gatherings. Digitalism is a group of closed extroverts living in their own world and not always ready to talk about it. Humanity is still far from completing its formational transformation. It is necessary, firstly, to elaborate a plastic synthesis of the most fruitful principles of socialism and capitalism, secondly, to develop a theory of a new formation on the basis of such synthesis, which is, thirdly, its testing in practice. The economy of the new world order will undergo a departure from the real world into the digital world. In this regard, the prospects for the development of the economy of such small countries as Azerbaijan are of great interest. Therefore, these countries should be already prepared today for the future. The digitalism system poses a variety of risks that need to be monitored and neutralized.
