The author of the article shows that the economy of the global world requires a special methodology for its study, which should take into account the interests not only of the elite, the so-called civilized countries, but also the specificities of the regional world, the prevailing socio-economic traditions, mentality, and so on. The article analyzes the situation that has arisen in modern economics education. The author shows that many of the problems of the educational sphere are determined by the general uncertainty that exists in the economy of not only Russia but also of the entire world. At the heart of this policy, which is aimed at destatization (education is positioned as a private affair of the student), there are the liberal concepts of «free market». The educational reform has the anti-state character and sets the tone of anti-social economics education. The idea, on which all the educational changes of the last three decades are based, presupposes the positioning of the state, society and the individual as self-sufficient antipodes. When designing a new system of economics education, it is also important to take into consideration that the former opposition between state and market in the developed countries no longer makes sense: both the state and the market occupy a certain place in the socio-economic system, perform their unique functions and exist in inseparable unity. The author substantiates a social need for development of a new economics education due to intensification of the globalization processes in the modern world, which involve the Russian Federation too. However, the Russian scientists have to take into account as much as possible the domestic experience of economic management, as well as to revive the unique theoretical works of Russian thinkers.
