Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of assessing the impact of economic transformation on the development of society. Particular attention is paid to the well-received drivers of economic change in the current decade – widespread digitalization and the gradual establishment of a “green”, carbon-free economy. The interpretation of sustainable societal transformation as a universal systemic process is substantiated. According to the argumentation presented, it is reasonable to assess the results of the transformation of the national economy based on indicators of the degree of its approach to a sustainable trajectory. The final part of the article reveals the role of economic transformation as a driver of future general social progress, which becomes achievable provided that the optimistic consolidated scenario of global development is fulfilled.
