Ekonomija i sociologija: budi se novi dijalog?
Economics and Sociology: Is a New Dialogue Awakening?

Summary/Abstract: In this text the authors challenge and critically assess some of the theses presented in the article of sociologist Vjeran Katunarić "To Be Worth and to Cost: Social-Cultural Prerequisites of Transition in the Recent Works of the Croatian Economists", who defined three approaches to classify the recent works of selected Croatian economists. The authors attempt to prove that exclusive separation and examining of the ideological foundations might not be a good starting point for the classification of the economists as it overlooks some other more important differences and possible classification criteria related to the subjects, theories and methodology of the analyses. Although it is indisputable that economics is not immune to ideological influences, the authors elaborate why overemphasising such an influence as the only criteria for classification might give a totally distorted picture of the present economic thought and its achievements.
