Summary/Abstract: In the article the author is discussing the issue of development and emancipation of economic history as a discipline in Slovenia, more precisely within the research field of historiography. The discussion, which is limited on modern period, points out the most significant economic history books and articles and their authors from the viewpoint of methodology, concepts, thematizations and reference backgrounds. It is strongly emphasized that we are dealing with the diversity of economic historiography in Slovenia. Within economic historiography cohabitate two approaches, traditional and modern, descriptive and problems or analysis oriented. Slovene economic historiography started with establishment in the 1960s on the basis of traditional methodological approach, without clear concepts and categories. Important shift was made in the 1990s, when process of modernization started in Slovene economic historiography. In the historical overview we also need to mention the important role of some Slovene social scientist in the process of formation of economic historiography.
