Summary/Abstract: The main purpose of the article is to verify the hypothesis thatthe erasing of values from economics causes unfavorable social changesleading even to social stratification. Side by side, it will be considered ifhomo neuroeconomicus is already the leading paradigm in economic, andmarketing creates our attitudes, with the aim only to sell, not to distributewares. The article also aims to show the relevance of axiology in economics,because at its metatheoretical level its ontological status constitutesvalues implanted by recognized economists. Meanwhile, contemporaryeconomics tries to create an exact science, disavowing its normativeoutput. The record is mathematical, which evaluative value, emotionallyexcludes man as an important subject of economics. The loss of autotelismin the exemplification of a human being and its natural inclination toparticipate in the economy causes non-exclusivity in participation. The attemptof these changes also led to the creation of homo neuroeconomicus asa model example of a human-consumer who has three tasks: buy, buy, buy.An adequate method to show the issue is to use the descriptive methodto approximate the problem and comparative analysis, which indicatesthat there is no one way to look at the economy and to make it work inreality.
