Creating an «ideal portrait» of a modern economist: new approaches

The article is devoted to the issues of formation of the modern economist, who should be not only a technical professional, who owns socio-economic models and methods, but also a moral agent of the welfare of society. The philosophical and psychological foundations of the person (East and West) and ethical approaches in the economy are revealed. The psychology of morals, psychological factors of economic behavior and the use of an integrative approach are substantiated. The synthesis of sciences in the integration of three components, including philosophical reflection - understanding of values and ethical foundations, psychological understanding – awareness of decision-making approaches and intellectual distortions, as well as economic tools, has been studied. An ideal portrait of a modern economist has been proposed.
