Abstract: The contemporary world is complex, contradictory, fraught with changes. The reasons behind these changes are systemic contradictions that can be interpreted as necessary and sufficient conditions for evolutionary development. To study high-quality mechanisms of the evolutionary development, conditions for the emergence of a new economic system, the operation of complex semistructured economic systems, dialectical analysis is needed. The qualitative characteristics of the mechanism of the evolution of economic systems have been presented in various phases of their development and the mechanism of their change. It has been demonstrated that the change of economic systems occurs based on the resolution of the dialectical contradiction. The use of the dialectical approach, supplemented by the mechanism of motion of a certain amount of entropy and bifurcations, makes it possible to comprehend the dialectics of the 'decline' of old economic systems and the 'genesis' of new economic systems.

Keywords: system; evolution; dialectics; systemic contradiction; economic system; structure; productive forces; relations of production; entropy.
