Ways out of the economic theory of systemic crisis. General methodological approach

Objective: to determine the ways for the economic theory to come out of systemic crisis, which is determined by its empirical nature peculiar to a proto-science with its well-known structural constraints.

Methods: systemic approach, method of analogy, model-based approach.

Results: basing on the research of relations classes, the authors consider the possibilities of using the general methodological scientific tools. To achieve the set goals, the authors analyzed the scientific works demonstrating the crisis in modern economic science. The problem is the desire of researchers to either use tools and methods already developed in Economics, or to transfer methods from other subject areas. In both cases, the disadvantage is a significant amount of time spent on finding the optimal solution to the problem. The authors see the solution of the problem in the study of various spheres of science using a single methodology, based on the method of analogy and the property of systems isomorphism. In this case, it becomes possible to consider it not as a science in the usual sense, focused on the study of various categories of phenomena in a narrow subject area. It is shown that scientific knowledge as a system consists of elements and various connections between them, while the elements are equivalent in terms of these connections. Therefore, by changing the system elements for their prototypes, it is possible to obtain a description of the dependencies between the new elements. It is emphasized that to study the multilateral relations it is necessary to build integral models enabling to detect the obvious discrepancy between the structure of the object and the functional depicting of the dependencies of its properties.

Scientific novelty: the process of improving the economic theory acquires an interdisciplinary nature at the intersection of economic science, methodology and general systemic disciplines. At the same time, economic science acquires a new field of research (it studies various classes of relations), a new set of knowledge and methodology. It should be noted that in such aspect the problem stated in the work is currently insufficiently studied and requires further research. The results of the research extend the idea of possible directions of improving the economic theory. The work is of problematic, largely innovative character.

Practical significance: the work may be of interest to specialists in the field of Economics and related disciplines.
