Abstract

The radical breaking of Russia’s socioeconomic basis has generated keen public interest in forecasts and recommendations of economic science. Quite often, and generally unjustifiably, responsibility for unreasoned decisions in the economic sphere is attributed to economists. Meanwhile, present-day economic science is going through a difficult time, which many economists characterize as a methodological crisis. This subject was discussed by V.S. Avtonomov at a session of the RAS Presidium last autumn.
