Abstract: Abstract The relationship between technological and social innovation can be interpreted as the relationship between the productive forces and production relations. Their impact on human resources has always been a key problem for the economic sciences. Ferguson (1772–1826) who taught Adam Smith, predicted the start of the great thrust of innovation created by the first industrial revolution, which led to the decline in the values of skills and the degradation of human resources. He stated that ignorance is both the ‘mother of industry and of superstition’ (Marx, 1962).
