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.

The study examines the place of behavioural economics in the structure of economic science and the practice of state regulating. The thesis that neoclassicism is an appropriate normative approach for analysing human behaviour is defended but the comparative advantages are on the side of behavioural economics in the answers of descriptive, diagnostic, prognostic and perspective issues. It tracks the historical roots, the ideas of behavioural economics for the limited rationality, will and egoism are presented in short as well as the contribution of behavioural approach to the state’s intervention ideology and practice. The libertarian paternalism idea and its role for the transformation of ‘a state of wealth’ into the ‘new paternalistic state’ that is increasingly gaining clear outlines are presented.
