The article explores the possibilities of realizing the benefits of the fourth industrial revolution for the develop-ment of the economy and society based on the newest technological paradigm. It is shown that the mecha-nisms of self-development of man-made systems are associated with the need to identify the main factors that predetermine the formation of the technological paradigm of material production and the formation of a new structure of the economic system on its basis. Taking into account statistical data and expert opinions, it is re-vealed that in modern conditions there are no such fundamental and global characteristics of the fourth indus-trial revolution and technological advantages that would be expressed in their use by all countries and socio-economic systems. Particular attention is paid to the organization of intersystem interaction within the country: between the technological system, the economy and society. Contradictions between theoretical prerequisites for the development of economic systems based on the technological paradigm of the fourth industrial revolu-tion and real assessments of macroeconomic indicators are highlighted. Conclusion dwells upon the fact that there is a high degree of uncertainty of the future for modern economic systems.

The participation of the state as an economic agent in the institutional structures that ensure the exchange of assets determines the specific features of their organization in the form of a public-private partnership (PPP). Within the framework of PPP, alternative forms of cooperation between the state and private business regard-ing the production of public goods are integrated: quasi-market organization, hierarchical and hybrid. The arti-cle is devoted to the analysis of the forms of organization of transactions based on PPP as an institutionaliza-tion of the possibilities of reducing transaction costs based on the exchange of property rights. The methodo-logical basis of the study was the main provisions and developments in the field of institutional economic theo-ry, the theory of property rights and the theory of public goods. The methods of work included a positive and normative analysis of the transactions of the hierarchical organization of private business and the state regard-ing the production of public goods. The analysis showed that the variety of PPP forms that implement this part-nership can be viewed as a function of changes in relative differences in the levels and structure of transaction costs. The results of the study contribute to the understanding of the specificity of the state's position as an agency for the specification and protection of property rights within PPPs organized in the form of hierarchies.
