Уроки экономики. Мысли вслух.
This paper is devoted to the new tutorial “Essays on Economics”. The handbook, prepared by the team of authors and edited by V. Fadeev offers innovative approach to the teaching of “economics”, the key principles of which are history, theory and statistics. This approach is a distant analogy to the case of 1951 in USSR when broad scholarly discussion was organized to produce new tutorial on political economy and the final results of the discussion were summed up by Josef Stalin himself. The “Essays on Economics” tutorial is addressed to the students in history, sociologists and political scientists, so it is not larded with mathematical formulas. The thirteen essays give a broad picture of Humankind economic activity starting with the primitive communal system and offer an account of all major economic theories, starting of those of Plato and Aristotle. Special attention paid to the so-called “Soviet Project”, that was an attempt to find an alternative to the capitalist society. Keywords: Economy, Capitalism, Market, Socialism, Stalin
