The article focuses on the crisis in economic science and the need for the formation of a new scientific paradigm. The pros and cons of the system economy, which claims to be a new paradigm in economic science, are considered. The insufficient elaboration of the methodology of the system economy, in particular, the weakness of the system approach, is revealed. It is shown that the system approach does not have sufficient explanatory and predictive power to become a methodological basis for the synthesis of economic science achievements. The general properties and features of economic systems that distinguish them from the entire variety of systems are revealed. It is emphasized that the main difference between economic systems is their ability not only to regulate the level of their entropy, but also to accumulate and use negative entropy - negentropy. Examples of the use of entropy terminology and methodology in economic research, both successful and unsuccessful, are described. It is proposed to turn to the primary sources and use the dynamics of thermodynamic and information entropy to study economic systems. It is shown how the dynamics of thermodynamic and information entropy are related to the economic behavior of socio-economic systems. The new opportunities provided by the inclusion of elements of the entropy approach in the methodology of the system economy are substantiated. Unsolved theoretical and methodological problems are identified.

The reform of development institutions that is taking place in Russia makes it possible to improve their work, including in terms of expanding the tools of the mechanism of state financing of innovative projects. Today, in Russia, financing of innovative projects in the form of providing funds is mainly carried out by two development institutes - JSC «RUSNANO» and the federal state institution «Industrial Development Fund» (FRP). The first is in the form of contributions to the authorized capital, the second is in the form of loans. The conditions for providing funds can be considered as a compromise between two approaches-a bet on the free market and a focus on state intervention.

Attempts to realize the opening possibilities for the practical use of new forms of communication at various levels are guaranteed to lead to a wide differentiation of the areas of interaction themselves. To date, it is blockchain technologies that have proven to be the most adapted to fully satisfy a number of the most important needs of society. The need to create and debug a unified information base, simultaneously linked to the information bases of various ministries, is clearly manifested. Promising approaches to solving intradepartmental and inter-departmental interactions should be determined already at the stage of developing technical specifications for those organizations that are responsible for scientific support and software for the created services. The most complete implementation of the options available today, which open up unique opportunities for using multidirectional blockchain platforms, ensuring the achievement of mutually enriching effects on the basis of this, is the most important issue that initially needs coordinated solutions.
