知识经济首先是一种经济形态而不是一个时代。劳动资料的革命必将带来经济形态的革命。从生产要素配置结构的变化或以此为坐标，我们可以将经济形态的发展变化划分为三个依次递进的不同阶段或形态：劳力经济、自然资源经济、知识经济。根据现有的生产方式的细微变化，可以推断出未来知识经济至少具有以下六大基本特征：笔的机器化与机器的智能化；经济发展推动力的无形化；知识、信息、智力的资本化；经济发展的可持续化；生产方式的网络化；高科技产业及智业的产业主导化。这六大基本特征可以归结为一句话：知识的经济化与经济的知识化。加快实现知识的经济化与经济的知识化是自然资源经济迈向知识经济的根本方略 Knowledge economy is above all an economic form rather than an era. The revolution in labor information will surely bring about the revolution in economic form. From the change in the configuration of production factors or as a coordinate, we can divide the development and changes of economic patterns into three stages or patterns that progress in sequence: labor economy, natural resource economy and knowledge economy. According to the subtle changes in the existing modes of production, we can conclude that the knowledge economy has at least the following six basic characteristics in the future: the mechanization of the pen and the intellectualization of the machine; the intangible of the impetus for economic development; the capitalization of knowledge, information and intelligence ; The sustainable development of economy; the network of production mode; the leading position of high-tech industry and intellectual industry. These six basic characteristics can be summed up in one sentence: the economy of knowledge and the economy of knowledge. Speeding up the realization of knowledge economy and knowledge economy is the fundamental strategy of natural resource economy towards knowledge economy
