Economy 5.0: Towards a Value Centered Paradigm

Introduction to the New Paradigm This book offers a comprehensive analysis of the global transition to the 5.0 Economy, a model that transcends the exclusive search for technical efficiency and economic profitability that characterized Industry 4.0. Through a systematic review of technical literature, institutional reports and academic articles from the period 2020-2025, it is established that humanity is facing a productive and social paradigm shift. The central thesis of the book argues that technology has reached a sufficient degree of maturity to cease being an end in itself and become an enabler of three fundamental pillars: the human-centered approach, environmental sustainability and operational resilience.From Industry 4.0 to Society 5.0 The analysis begins by breaking down the conceptual evolution from mass digitization to humanistic personalization. While Industry 4.0 focused on the interconnectivity of cyber-physical systems (IoT, Big Data), Industry 5.0 reintroduces the human factor into the equation.
