In September, the Global Congress of the World Association of Noonomy (WAN) took place at the Parco dei Principi hotel in Rome. The association is chaired by the Russian economist Sergey Bodrunov, who developed the economic theory of noonomy.

The Congress brought together leading scholars and institutional representatives from 37 countries, including Italy, Russia, China, Mexico, Chile, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Brazil, India, Uganda, Cuba, Georgia and Laos.

The central day of this major gathering featured the international conference “Theory of Noonomy: A New Paradigm of Civilizational Development”, divided into three sessions.

An entire day was devoted to presenting the World Association of Noonomy, which is based in Italy and had begun its activities in recent months. Among the appointments announced on this occasion was that of publisher Sandro Teti, whose publishing house has published all of Professor Bodrunov’s books in Italian. Teti was appointed to oversee WAN’s international relations and institutional affairs, and to coordinate publishers accredited to publish works on noonomy.

Planning, the rational use and development of resources, shared knowledge, meeting people’s needs and sharing wealth were the speakers’ key themes. They stressed the importance of establishing effective guidelines for a world facing economic and geopolitical crises, in which artificial intelligence increasingly risks getting out of control unless it is regulated and used for the benefit of the global community.
