The paper looks same results of last years inter-branch science investigations and follow inevitable inclusion the results in context of economic theory. New parts of inter-branch sciences (behavioral, evolutional, institutional and other economics) doubts of evidence of traditional economic theory main postulates, and offer alternative conceptions for explanation economic phenomena. This is a challenge to economists who maintains of stable fundamentals.
The review presents a discussion at the session of the Scientific Council of Moscow State University on the development of modern economic theory and Russian model of social and economic development. The session, held on November 28, 2019 at the Faculty of Economics in Lomonosov Moscow State University, was dedicated to two dates - the 215th anniversary of the Department of Political Economy and the 115th anniversary of N. A. Tsagolov. The topic of scientific discussion: "Interdisciplinary approach - the key to solving theoretical and practical problems of modern time". During the discussion, issues related to interdisciplinary method in economic theory, University traditions and modern experience of interdisciplinary method in economic science were discussed. Speakers also concentrated on the problems of national political economy development, inseparably connected with the history of the Department of Political Economy at the Faculty of Economics in Moscow University. Special attention was paid to the period of the development of the Department under the leadership of N. A. Tsagolov and formation of the scientific school connected with his name. The discussion focused on the interdisciplinary approach developed by "Tsagolov School", the possibility of its development under the conditions of a new scientific and technological revolution, and its role in the effective study of economy and society in the twenty-first century.
Article about synthesis of theory the self-organizing and the institutional economic theory. The author proves the thesis about exogenous an origin of institutional processes in economy and cyclic institutional development.
The article examines the tradition of teaching economic theory at Moscow University since the late 19th to the early 21st century through basic textbooks, which reflect the specificity, theoretical and practical problems of the corresponding historical periods. The narrative proposed shows the emergence of innovative textbooks that embody the breakthroughs in both the subject and method of economic theory and the methodology for its teaching. Apprehension of students and recognition of colleagues have become well-deserved attributes of manuals by A.I. Chuprov, N.A. Tsagolov and Yu.N. Cheremnykh. As well as many others, they absorbed, developed, and passed on from generation to generation the experience of teaching fundamental economic disciplines. Drawing on the «pendulum principle» widely used in the research of various intellectual thoughts, the authors show the main features of the new generation of textbooks that will be in demand by students and teachers shortly. While maintaining consistency in reflecting economic reality, the new manuals should meet the requirements of digital economy, such as fundamental and, at the same time, practical orientation of students. According to the authors, basic courses and textbooks on economic theory will be more interactive while their content expansion will occur due to behavioral aspects at both micro- and macrolevels. That will allow students to learn the principles of mainstream and alternative theoretical approaches to solving urgent practical problems.

The economic theory of Marxism is one of the fundamental trends that continue the classical tradition in economic science. Like any body of theoretical knowledge, the economic theory of Marxism cannot become outdated; it can only be discarded by managerial practice as unwanted. Practice shows that within modern management, situations increasingly arise that can only be explained adequately within the framework of classical political economy. The awakening of interest in the classical tradition, and accordingly, in Marx's economic theory, is due to the fact that it retains within itself the whole indispensable set of instruments for economic analysis of the state of the modern economy. Moreover, the basic positions of Marxism coincide in some cases with ultra-modern (institutional) concepts. Today, a return to the ideas of Marxism is possible only on several conditions: a) if this theoretical current is cleansed of accumulated vulgarisms and distortions; b) if there is a rethinking of outmoded positions that have been disproved by reality; c) if Marxist methodology is employed for analysing the present-day economy. This course of instruction is aimed at the study and assimilation of the theoretical bases of the classical, politico-economic school in economic science-Marxism.
The article presents a survey of the main positions presented in the talks delivered by participants in a discussion, taking place at a session of the Academic Council of Moscow State University on 28 November 2019, on the elaboration of modern economic theory and of the Russian model of socio-economic development. The session of the Academic Council took place in the Faculty of Economics of the M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State University, and was timed to coincide with two anniversary dates: the 215th anniversary of the chair of political economy of Moscow University and the 115th anniversary of the birth of N.A. Tsagolov. The theme of the discussion was: "The interdisciplinary approach — the key to solving the theoretical and practical problems of the modern age". The panellists discussed questions associated with the role of the interdisciplinary approach in economic theory. Also at the centre of attention were questions of the development of Russian political economy, a topic linked indissolubly with the history of the faculty, as well as questions related to the formation of the academic "Tsagolov school" and to its influence on the development of modern economic science.
The article is devoted to the evolution of scientific schools of the Department of Economic Theory, Regional Economics, and State and Municipal Management of South Ural State University (National Research University), which celebrates the 70th anniversary since its formation this year. During its development, it has gone from a service department (teaching the "Political Economy" discipline) to the department combining the functions of a service (teaching the "Economics" discipline) and a graduate one (Bachelor's and Master's degree programs) in the "State and Municipal Administration" field of training. Various research has been conducted at the department. Initially it studied the "Macro- and microeconomical problems of the evolution of socio-economic problems". Later it engaged in the "Study of the nature of transformation processes in the Russian economy during the transition to the market period". Today it conducts active research on the problems of the regional economy and municipal management. Many of the department's teaching staff members participate in the regional expert community of Chelyabinsk and the Chelyabinsk Region. In connection with the strategic scientific projects of the Priority 2030 Program, the following fields have become the focus of scientific research: "Analyzing the promising specializations in the region's industrial space", "Research and evaluation of the agglomeration effects in the economic space of the subjects of the Russian Federation". ; Статья посвящена эволюции научных школ кафедры «Экономическая теория, региональная экономика, государственное и муниципальное управление» Южно-Уральского государственного университета (национального исследовательского университета), которой в этом году исполняется 70 лет.

The subject of the study is the resource approach to the economic growth policy including theoretical aspects of the economic growth model. A recession is usually replaced by the growth dynamics, and the economy's recovery from the recession requires justification of government policy measures that not only help overcome the crisis, but also lead the economy to sustainable growth at a given pace. The study is concerned with the assessment of aggregate type models within the framework of the resource-factor approach and the impact of investments and consumer spendings on the economic growth rate at the theoretical (model) and empirical levels of analysis. The modern technological level and the type of "technological function" ensure not only the ability of the economy to grow in the current regime but also provide the basis for long-term growth prospects. The technological choice determines the extensive or intensive types of economic growth. The relationship between the rates of creating a new resource and diversion of an existing one to ensure the growth has been determined. The more intensive is the diversion of the resource from available facilities as well as the higher is the interest rate, the lower are the opportunities for creating a new resource and more modest are growth opportunities through the development of a new resource. It is shown that the change in the technological level to ensure the growth of the economic system requires a greater change in consumer spendings. Concerning the economic policy of investment promotion in Russia, it is shown that in the first phase of the recovery, it is advisable not so much to increase the amount of investments as stimulate aggregate consumption and restore the income level. Therefore, the consumption crisis must be eliminated, and since economic growth can occur not through investments (as it was in Russia before the 2015 crisis), it is necessary to seek a growth policy through investments considering their impact on the technological parameters of the economic system. Besides, the increase in the savings rate is not an end in itself for the establishment of the economic growth policy, it is, rather, a resultant parameter that should be taken as such when making macroeconomic decisions. ; Предметом исследования стал ресурсный подход к организации экономического роста - теоретические аспекты модели роста экономики. Ростовая динамика обычно сменяет рецессию, а выход экономики из рецессии требует обоснования мероприятий правительственной политики, способствующих не только преодолению кризиса, но и выводу экономики на траекторию устойчивого роста заданного темпа. Исследование касается оценки моделей агрегатного типа в рамках применяемого ресурсно-факторного подхода, а также влияния инвестиций и потребительских расходов на темп экономического роста на теоретическом (модельном) и эмпирическом уровне анализа. Современный уровень технологичности и вид «технологической функции» обеспечивают не только способность роста экономики в текущем режиме, но и долгосрочные перспективы роста. Технологический выбор предопределяет экстенсивный или интенсивный тип экономического роста. Определено, как связаны скорости создания нового и отвлечения имеющегося ресурса для обеспечения роста. Чем интенсивнее идет отвлечение ресурса от имеющихся возможностей либо заимствование, а также чем выше процентная ставка, тем ниже возможности по созданию нового ресурса и скромны возможности роста за счет освоения нового ресурса. Показано, что изменение технологического уровня для роста экономической системы требует большего изменения потребительских расходов. Относительно экономической политики стимулирования инвестиций в России показано, что на первой фазе выхода из рецессии потребуется не столько наращение величины инвестиций, сколько стимулирование совокупного потребления и восстановление уровня доходов граждан. Поэтому кризис потребления требует элиминации. А с учетом того, что компонента валового потребления занимает самую большую долю в структуре ВВП РФ, стимулирование потребления через смягчение денежно-кредитной и бюджетной политики с мерами противодействия инфляции на уровне роста затрат и экономической структуры (регулирование естественных монополий) позволит сложить первую фазу политики экономического роста в России. Экономический рост России перед кризисом 2015 г. происходил не за счет инвестиций, а за счет потребительских, правительственных расходов и чистого экспорта. Теперь нужно искать новые факторы роста за счет инвестиций, рассматривая их влияние на технологические параметры экономики. Кроме того, повышение нормы накопления не является самоцелью для организации политики экономического роста, скорее данный параметр выступает результирующим и соответственно должен восприниматься при принятии макроэкономических решений.
The institutional theory assumes influence uneconomic factors on dynamics of economic development. The number of such factors includes system, cyclic and adaptable processes. The author offers new interpretation of the conceptual device of the institutional theory, based application of a heritage of German sociologist Niklas Luchmann, the theory of self-organising and the theory of business cycles.
