Этой статьей журнал продолжает дискуссию о критико-реалистической методологии в экономической теории (см. статьи Т. Лоусона (2006. № 2. С. 75-98) и Дж. Ходжсона (2006. № 3. С. 111-124)). В данном случае исследуются два положения, выдвинутые критическими реалистами. Эти положения касаются закона тенденции нормы прибыли к понижению и теории организации рабочих мест при объяснении промышленного упадка в Великобритании. Приведенные примеры поясняют проблемы и ограничения, стоящие перед критико-реалистической методологией. Также в статье затронуты важные вопросы, касающиеся перспектив данного направления как особого социально-теоретического и политического движения.

The article critically examines claims made by two prominent critical realists on behalf of their philosophy - on the Marx’s law of the tendency of the rate of profit to fall and on the workplace organization theory of the relative decline of the British economy. These two case studies raise important questions concerning critical realism in economics. The character of critical realism as a movement is also analyzed.
