Everyone needs economic theory. Everyone. Except from economists?
The article examines how economic theory that had been in fact banished, as the academic discipline, from the university auditoriums, is now reviving as a scientific system; fundamental trends in modern economy in the coordinates of economic theory are described; development of economics is analyzed. The author shows that cognition in humanities is far more complex process than in the natural sciences; the development of economic theory is viewed as the scramble of fundamental paradigms. Problems related to search of modern economic theory search are defined; the author reflects on the reasons why «inferiority complex» emerges among modern economists; in the end, the author concludes that it is better not to have any economic theory at all than to have the bad one.
