To the discussion on transforming economic systems and designing from the future

This discussion requires clarification and coordination of the subject of research, as well as avoiding a concrete aspect and linearity in the theoretical understanding of the qualitative changes taking place in the world and national economic systems. The author’s position is proposed, which consists in the necessity to comprehend the systemic transformation of the world economic system as an objective and subjective processes, based on the socio-economic transformation, the essence of which is the transition from state-monopolistic capitalism to global monopolistic capitalism. The need of theoretical awareness of the objective mechanism of the new technologies functioning is justified in the article. From the point of view of their social characteristics, these new technologies increasingly assume the quality of global ones (the study of socio-economic, objectively necessary organizational-economic, institutional relations and forms mediating their implementation). This will allow: to substantiate theoretically the measure of the ratio of stability and variability in the current economic system; the mechanism of modification and deformation; to understand the actual economic norms and forms as transformed forms of implementation of new technologies, inevitable during the formation of a new economic system; to design transitional norms and forms of realization of the emerging new technologies of global quality to ensure their socially effective introduction. The importance of politico-economic and subjective approaches to the analysis of the systemic quality of transformation is emphasized and illustrated by examples, which allow to avoid two extremes when choosing the way forward. They are: underestimating the influence of global financial capital on the policy of nation states through political, economic and financial instruments and institutions, as well as getting ahead through designing from the future.
