Summary/Abstract: In the paper the emphasis is on the analogy of Kuhn's model of the structure of scientific revolutions and the concept of technological paradigm as a kind of a material premise of the cyclical development of the capitalist economy during the last two centuries. The implicit starting point is the attitude, according to which the dynamics of economic development within certain time intervals is predominantly determined by disruptive technologies, which de facto play the main role in designing the pillars of different technological paradigms.
