В статье констатируются признаки потери интереса экономистов к изучению истории экономической мысли и анализируются причины, по которым эта дисциплина оказалась на периферии исследовательских предпочтений мейнстрима. Показано, что история экономической мысли постепенно уходит из сферы «чистой» экономической науки и все больше сближается с другими гуманитарными дисциплинами. Результаты анкетирования студентов и аспирантов ведущих российских экономических вузов подтверждают выявленный тренд. Для сохранения истории экономической мысли в программах подготовки экономистов требуется углубить ее интеграцию с другими социальными науками.

The paper demonstrates that economists lose interest in the study of the history of economic thought (HET). The roots that have affected the move of the HET to the periphery of the mainstream research preferences are analyzed. Based on a review of the current situation in the field of HET studies, the author shows that the field is gradually moving from the realm of the “pure” economics to converge with other humanities. The results of the survey of undergraduate and graduate students of the leading Russian universities confirm this trend. Saving HET in the economics curriculum requires deepening its integration with other social sciences.
