“…Consider international publications on the Main stream methodology or Economics. Main stream is criticized for a purely mechanical approach to understanding social and economic phenomena [1]; for formalism, expressed in the predominance of the use of "obedient" models [2]; for similarity to physics [3]; ignoring the question of distribution, which avoids the ethical question of social justice [4]; ignoring the endogeneity of distortions in transition economies [5]; for adherence to economic imperialism, zeal to export narrow concepts of rationality [6]; contradictions in methodologies -especially those related to postmodernism, positivism and philosophical realism, in the traditions of thinking that have emerged since the Enlightenment [7], the inability to interact with criticism and alternatives [8].…”

The article analyzes the methodology of modern economic theory. The advantages and disadvantages Of the McConnell and brew economies are analyzed. It is compared with the textbook “Political economy” of the period of the USSR and Soviet Russia. A literature review has shown that many authors are critical of Main stream and are looking for alternative theories and methodologies. The article analyzes the institutional reasons for teaching Economics. Given the growing global crisis of industrial civilization and, in particular, the systemic crisis of its economic and political leader-the United States, the question is raised about the need to create a new type of textbook on economic theory. The article describes the philosophical roots of Economics and Marxist political economy. According to the authors of the article, these two areas of science and education in the twentieth century became examples of a “secular form of religion”, since their ideological orientation prevailed over the scientific content. “Russian Economics” is a textbook for undergraduates that has broader system relationships with other Sciences (sociology, political science, Cybernetics, zoopsychology, etc.) and applies, along with well-known models of Economics, also qualitative methods and models of classical political economy within the framework of a systematic approach. The article describes the methodological principles of a new type of textbook that reflect the basic provisions of traditional European culture and can serve to form the concept of the “third way economy”, as an objectively emerging model of a mixed economy.
