Abstract
The purpose of this study is to explore the convergence between economics and quantum physics and to show that the advance of informati on economics and the network societies were enabled by the developments of physics and quantum mechanics. There is a need to establish the research departing point for the information economics emerging area. The paper argues that this departing point should be in quantum mechanics, that is, by establishing connections between the shift of human knowledge paradigm and information economics. This study briefly presents the evolution of human knowledge and science (quanta mechanics) that led to (and are an integral part of) the network societies and the information economics area as a new branch of economics.
