| Based on socio-anthropological and ideological arguments, the author shows that the neoclassical model of Homo Economicus corresponds to the real human type to be found presently in all spheres of social life in the West and in Russia. The first supporting argument is related to the transformation of the way of life that took place by the middle of the XIX c. in Western Europe and the USA, and that brought about the sovereignty of the “spirit of capitalism.” The second argument discusses the ideological foundations of this transformation and demonstrates the features of Homo Economicus in the Russian socio-cultural space | Key words: Homo Economicus, neoclassical economic theory, philosophy of economy, methodology of economy, neoliberalism | Pages: 70 - 74 |
