Summary/Abstract: The contemporary economic thought does not fully realise its tasks: it does not explain in a satisfactory way the socio-economic reality, nor does it propose effective methods of solving major problems, especially on macroeconomic level – within national economies, and on megaeconomic level – within the global economy. New pragmatism is the outline of a heterodox theoretical concept arising within the normative stream of economics, which is based on the desire to create a good economy that can cope with the main challenges of the contemporary world. New pragmatism represents a honest economics, which tries to provide us with true diagnosis of economic conditions while assuring at the same time efficiency and justice in economic activity. This concept is addressed both to the highly developed and developing economies. In order to cope with the current challenges, we have to change our life styles, and the way of functioning of the economy must be changed as well. We need to reformulate the aim of economic activity and short-run interests of private capital must be subordinated to the long-run public interests.
