Starting from the specific nature of the present world monetary & financial crisis, this paper endeavours to identify and to analysis its implications on the evolution of economic science. Historically, the economic science has manifested itself paying a double price: on the one hand, by a certain isolation from the whole social organism and, on the other hand, by a gradual subordination to politics.
The paper considers two extreme tendencies equally negative: an absolute emphasis put either on the normative dimension of political economy or on the positive dimension of economics. The author is pleading for a renewal of the concept of social economy, taking into account the traits of the mankind’s evolution in the XXI-st century.
