Abstract

The article deals with the methodological problems connected with the verity of economic theory. It analyses the peculiarity of the verity in economic studies, which determine its relativity. It is explained both by the changing character of economy and the social position of the scientist. Those peculiarities make the positive method dominated in the economic research. The main criterion of the verity is the ability of the theory to explain the reality.
