Współczesne nauki ekonomiczne: tożsamość, ewolucja, klasyfikacje
Contemporary Economic Sciences: Identity, Evolution, Classifications

Summary/Abstract: The article contains a discussion about the current state of economic sciences, with special consideration of the Polish context. The author starts from presenting various classifications. Then he tries to determine the identity of economic sciences (including economics, finance, management, and commodity science): what is common in these disciplines and what connects them. In the next part, the author discusses two most important, in his view, characteristics of modern economic sciences: (1) their diversity and multi-paradigmatic character, (2) inter-disciplinary character and links with other areas, fields, and disciplines of science. The next part is devoted to the question of future prospects of economic sciences. The last part gives some recommendations addressed to economists, intended to increase the benefits given by their work for the society.
