Main Article Content

Aleksandr Nekipelov

Abstract

The article is devoted to finding the answer to the following question: is the concept of the new pragmatism developed by Professor G.W. Kołodko an alternative or a supplement to the general economic theory? The author’s position is that the positive potential of the new pragmatism consists in its practical usefulness for the analysis of specific situations developing both in various national economies, as well as in the global economy, based on the interdisciplinary grounds. This concept should not be considered as an alternative to the general economic theory. Rather, it is a kind of a bridge over the “area of uncertainty”, which necessarily exists between an abstract economic theory and the economic reality.
