Abstract

The article is devoted to finding of the ways to ensure sustainable safe development of socio-economic systems in the context of the current worsening contradictions in human development, called global problems of civilisation. It is shown that within the framework of existing doctrines of socio-economic development, which focus increasing attention on the non-economic aspects of socio-economic practice, sustainable development becomes very unlikely. As a theoretical and methodological basis for overcoming these contradictions, a resource-usefulness theory of safe development is proposed, within the framework of which a harmonious combination of both technical-technological and political-economic factors of ensuring economic security is achieved. Its main advantage is that it returns political economy to the primary consideration of the actual economic aspects of socio-economic practice, focusing on the most beneficial use of limited resources.
