The monograph is devoted to rethinking the rent phenomenon as the foundation of the economic and political life of modern societies. The current trends in the global evolution of capitalism, the market and democracy testify to the strengthening of their rental foundations, which were ignored by pure economic and political theory, but always retained the most important regulatory significance in the real life of society. The global crisis of capitalism and free markets, the discovery of the limits of eternal factors of development - labor and capital, the exclusion of man from the technological chains and the transformation of the society of labor, as well as the political inequality of economic actors make it possible to distinguish the contours of a new rental society that is being born here and now - in the shadow of capitalism, labor and democracy.
