Abstract. The determination of relevant trends in economic and organizational aspects of public management of society is conditioned by the global character of economic, social, and cultural changes, the spread of new technologies during the IV international revolution, the crises associated with the pandemic of coronavirus, hybrid wars, trade wars, leadership struggle in the global and local scale and other problems of the world and local sort. The article uses the review of publications devoted to the further development of society to actualize the utilization of approaches to the progressive capitalism outlined by J. Stiglitz and the solidary civilization as the purposeful tendencies for the economic and organizational principles of the system of public management. The article ascertains that management of the further development of society requires a modern scientific argumentation and scientific support with the help of the development of the special scientific theory – the theory of public management. The directions of public management in the economic, institutional, social, cultural, and political spheres are proposed considering the stated tendencies in the formation of modern civilization. It is proved that finding an effective consensus between public authorities, entrepreneurs and the general public occupies a special place for economic development and implies that: - all types of public activity must be consistent with the peculiarities of modern civilizational development of the country; - economic interests of society should be an unconditional value in the search and implementation of management decisions that are formed in the constantly updated conditions of the country’s development. In today’s world, social transformation processes in the field of public administration require active theoretical argumentation and appropriate scientific support in order to make and implement socially important decisions on economic, social and cultural issues. Keywords: economic and organizational aspects, sustainable economic development, public management, public sphere, society, digital world, public consensus, progressive capitalism, solidary character of relations.
