Summary/Abstract: This article explores the fate of one of the little-known but highly erudite economists and philosophers in Bulgaria - Assoc. Prof. Benjamen Israel Varon Ph.D. The author presents Varon’s research in the development of socialism before 1989 in the country and in Europe, the role of the socialist and social-democratic parties play in it, and the reasons for socialism’s subsequent demise. Attention is drawn to his perspective on the Washington Consensus and the emergence of neoliberalism as a modern paradigm of economic policy. Emphasis is placed on his understanding of social reform and the transformation of capitalism. The paper also examines his opinion on globalization and its impact on modern society as well as the difference between globalization and globalism. Further, his ideas about building a new society based on new socio-economic relations are presented.
