The article deals with the problems of the ecological crisis in its relationship with the economy. Statistics are provided. From the analysis of the literature, it is concluded that there is a shortage in a comprehensive study of the problem - with coverage not only of technologies that affect environmental risks, but penetrating into the depths of the issue, i.e. production relations, linking the problem with the crisis of industrial production and the transition to a different type of social reproduction. Methods and materials. Mainly the systems approach, the method of scientific abstraction, formal logic, dialectical-theoretical methods, the method of empirical analysis and other economic methods were used. We used the paradigma concept of equilibrium as a methodological basis. Results achieved. The ecological crisis has long roots. The main factors of human alienation from nature: technical progress; approval of the positivism paradigm in the scientific methodology; the victory of the market model of the economy. As a result, man was torn out of his natural environment. He lives and works in rhythms and according to rules that contradict natural laws. The result is the growing global crisis of industrial civilization. The article classifies environmental risks, as well as directions of their neutralization, primarily using economic and political methods. In the systemic plan, restoration of the disturbed balance of a person with society and nature is required. This may be facilitated by the formation of a new stage in the development of society, one of the concepts of which is the theory of the “New Industrial Society” (NIS.2.).
