Economic ideology: Versions of the concept’s acceptations and application

Economy is one of the basic systems of human being, and economic concepts are used in various sciences, sometimes in unexpected combinations. One of these is the concept of economic ideology, used for quite a long time, but most widely in recent decades, and in various meanings. At the same time, its actual economic studies are rare, so that in fact it is used in political science, sociology and psychology. This discrepancy defines the objectives of the article: to analyze the main practices of using the concept of economic ideology and to propose a way to organize them, or propose a typology, based on which it would be possible to identify the directions of economic analysis of this concept. Such studies would allow us to develop the study of the subjective information, in particular beliefs, impact on economic decision-making.
