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.

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.

The present paper argues again that sustainable development is an objective need of people, which has no alternative. The paper examines a very small part of the ‘man-nature’ relationship. On the one hand, the major achievements in the implementation of the sustainable development are described and, on the other hand, the problems that need to be studied and solved by scientists, policy makers, practitioners and others are set out, since this concept requires an integrated approach. We consider that the implementation of sustainable development is the only option. Moreover, its implementation is imposed by the reality because we owe it to present and future generations.
