Abstract
The article analyzes the multidisciplinary textbook “Digital State and Economy” edited by the researchers of the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation Stanislav E. Prokofiev, Olga V. Panina and Konstantin V. Kharchenko. The need to publish such textbooks is justified as a way to solve the problem of insufficiently systematic practical use of new terms, such as ‘digitalization’ and ‘digital transformation’, without their proper conceptual understanding. A brief review of similar works published in recent years suggests that the reviewed textbook is large-scale in terms of the coverage of the problem and its interpretation. The reviewer highlights the advantages of this publication. They consist in a clear and systematic interpretation of key concepts and a structured presentation of the material. For the sake of discussion, the author points out the expediency of changing the title of the textbook in the preparation of future editions, the possibility of compiling and publishing a tutorial as an addition to the textbook, as well as the need to equalize the level of tweaking certain chapters and paragraphs. The conclusion is made about the usefulness of the textbook for students who major in state and municipal management.Keywords:digital economy, university textbook, digitalization, digital transformation, digital platform, digital ecosystemReferences
