Annotation: The subject of the study is political economic relations functioning in conditions of increasing complexity, which determines the need for the formation of such a qualitative integrity of a person’s life that corresponds to the dignity of his/her essential forces and relevant creative and labor self-realization. The purpose of the article is to identify the essence of the phenomenon of a decent life and to prove the basic role of this category in the system of economic relations that meet the requirements of economic synergy. The methodology of qualitative analysis was used, and the heuristic potential of such binary forms as freedom and necessity, general and special was realized when characterizing the elements of a worthy response of a person to various forms of increasing complexity. The scientific novelty of the research results lies in the proof that the external synergy of the increase in economic complexity should correspond to the internal synergy of the essential forces of the individual, which is the most important function of his/her life with dignity. The interpretation of a decent life is proposed, and the “triad” of its key components is characterized: inner freedom in unity with the imperative of necessity, the ability to divergent thinking and the relevant property system. The scientific and practical significance of the statements of the article lies in the need to develop a political economy of a decent life, in which the individual becomes the goal and condition of reproduction from a means of creating values.
