The "Book on Poverty and Wealth" as a voice of the "silent majority"
The «Book on Poverty and Wealth» is interpreted as an expression of views of ordinary people and a voice of the «silent majority» of the Russians at the turns of the 17-18th centuries. Such hypothesis not only keeps the Pososhkov's status of the first Russian economist, but also puts him behind the frames of Russian economic science. Moreover, it leads to the conclusion on deeply rooted authoritarian stereotypes in the Russian national consciousness.
