В работе анализируются новейшие социологические и эпистемологические тенденции в развитии экономической науки. Сделан вывод, что ее современное состояние нельзя назвать ни кризисом, ни триумфом. Скореe это обычное для любой развивающейся научной дисциплины рабочее состояние, хотя и не слишком вдохновляющее, если учесть, что эпоха новых крупных теоретических идей для нее, повидимому, миновала, что со временем ее крен в сторону атеоретичности будет только усиливаться и что чем дальше, тем все более интервенционистской она будет становиться.

The paper analyses recent sociological and epistemological trends in the evolution of economics as a scientific enterprise and as a social institution and tries to evaluate its current state and further perspectives. It concludes that now there is neither triumph nor crisis in modern economic science. Rather, economics is in an ordinary working state though not very promising since the period of big theoretical ideas seems to be over for it, since new atheoretical tendency in it is becoming stronger, and since it would become more and more interventionistic in the nearest future.
