Abstract
The author showed that the modern Western world is facing an extremely important fork in the road, meaning the choice of a further path and ideology of development and a new system of values and social motivation. It is argued that the leading cause of the crisis is the inhibition of the innovative development of modern civilization, which made impossible the neocolonial exploitation of the rest of the world, using innovative superiority. Also, the author showed that a severe problem of the West is the stimulation of growth of quality of life standards and lowering the cost of labour. The paper presents options for responding to this crisis — military suppression of competitors, innovative breakthrough, self-isolation, and information and social manipulation.

Summary
The author showed that the modern Western world is facing an extremely important fork in the road, meaning the choice of a further path and ideology of development and a new system of values and social motivation. Вокруг инновационных производств создаются зоны богатства и процветания — возникают новые стандарты качества жизни, основанные на более высокой производительности труда и привлекательные для остального населения. По большому счету, социальноэкономическое и политическое развитие определяются двумя параллельными процессами, каждый из которых живет по своим законам: производством инноваций, повышающих производительность труда, и требованиями населения жить не хуже, чем успешные социальные группы, лидирующие по качеству жизни в стране или на более узкой территории.
