The book discusses in a new perspective the acute economic, social and political problems of social development, especially capitalism and socialism. In the light of universal values, in particular ethics and justice, the flaws of existing social systems, the incompleteness of freedom and democracy with inequality, and the causes of the negatives of life are shown. The future is presented as a transition to post-capitalist and post-socialist society, the domination of non-market, naturally human relations between people, from the era of egoism to the era of altruism, the triumph of truth, the world of love, to a truly human social order, conditionally called "humanism" by the author. Around some fundamental problems of economic theory the book proposes innovative paradigms concerning the place and role of gifted natural and anthropogenic resources in the creation of goods, the ratio of accumulation of wealth and welfare, the productive and consumer forces of society, the transformation of economic goods into social goods, the importance of moderation of consumption for the general welfare, etc. Some objective laws of the socio-economic system are formulated.
