Abstract

The article discusses the shortcomings of today’s “academic approach” to teaching the economic theory in Russian higher schools. The traditional division of economic theory in micro and macroeconomics hinders its development, but it remains unchanged due to the so-called QWERTY-effect. Along with the traditional “academic approach” to the structure of economic theory there is a “practical (macro-economic or accounting) approach” which is based on the model of circular flow of incomes and expenses (circular flow models) and system of national accounts. In these circumstances, the author proposes to use the practical approach to training future economists as this approach is based on a new, sectoral criterion for economic theory division. Currently, we are witnessing the introduction of a third approach to the structure of economic theory; this new approach can be defined as a “computerized approach”. The emergence of above-mentioned approach to economic theory was conditioned by further formalization of human economic activities and computerization of economic processes. The author identifies and describes recent features of economic theory transformation and suggests a new road map for modern economic science. В статье рассмотрены недостатки современного «академического подхода» к преподаванию экономической теории в российских вузах. Традиционное деление экономической теории на микро- и макроэкономику тормозит ее развитие, но сохраняется в силу так называемого QWERTY-эффекта. Наряду с традиционным, «академическим подходом» к структуре экономической теории сформировался «практический (макроэкономический или бухгалтерский) подход», основанный на модели кругооборота доходов и расходов (модели круговых потоков) и системы национальных счетов. В этих условиях автор предлагает использовать практический подход для обучения будущих экономистов, основанный на новом, секторном критерии деления экономической теории. В настоящее время мы наблюдаем формирование третьего подхода к структуре экономической теории, который с известной долей условности можно назвать «компьютеризированным подходом». К этому подходу экономическую теорию привела дальнейшая формализация экономической деятельности человека и компьютеризация экономических процессов. Автор выделяет и рассматривает особенности заключительного этапа трансформации экономической теории и предлагает новую дорожную карту современной экономической науки.
