Summary/Abstract: The axis of the modern economy-world is capitalism in the neoliberal globalisation phase. Human population divided into local civilization and national communities found itself in the phase of another structural (or system) crisis: it must beat technological barriers (energy), institutional (global government) and social (adjusting mechanism of global capitalism to the needs of ageing societies of the North and poverty and global underdevelopment of the South). This problem will be resolved – if one may anticipate on the basis of knowledge of history course determinants – when climatic, food, resource wars and periods of recession and growth are over. Correcting its functional mechanisms in the transnational scale will require co-operation and international coordination (liquidation of tax havens) and qualitative changes in relations between the state an financial market (taxation subjected to satisfy the needs of ageing population and solving existential challenges from the world civilization). It will give the opportunity to create a new formula for the alliance between the financial and production capital, workforce and the state on the scale of national societies and the new world order – in the civilization of permanent development. The period of open phase of the next structural crisis might be foreseen for the next 30–40 years, or in the middle of 21st century.
