The Knowledge Economy: Conceptual Foundations, Economic Properties, And Contemporary Forms. An Approach Through Systemic Connection[L’Economie Du Savoir: Fondements Conceptuels, Proprietes Economiques Et Formes Contemporaines. Une Approche Par La Reliance Systemique]

This working paper analyzes the systemic transition toward the knowledge economy, highlighting the historical shift from tangible accumulation to the preeminence of intangible assets. By employing frameworks of complexity and innovation economics, we examine how knowledge through its properties of non-rivalry and its codification dynamics redefines economic praxis. The study explores Peters' (2010) triad learning, creative, and open knowledge economies while emphasizing, through Morin (2022), the inherent blind spots of fragmented hyperspecialization. The objective is to demonstrate that value now lies in the ability of societies to organize "reliance" (interconnection) between types of knowledge and to recognize uncertainty as an indispensable heuristic driver for sustainable development.
