It follows in the process of combination the concept of development human potential and the concept of sustainable development which is interpreted as such a system of the organization of society that the needs of present generation occurs not to the expense of the opportunities to meet the needs of future generations. The basic principle of the natural capital, minimization of outer effects (externalities) for future generations is the basic principle of sustainable development. These two approaches sometimes combined in the form of the concept of sustainable human development, which should be the basis for optimum structure of social and economic system.
