In the paper, we thoroughly consider the dominant position of economics within the social sciences. We begin with the presentation of the relative isolation of economics and results of citation research of selected journals in Serbia and Russia. Next thing we analyze is the tight, vertical management of economics which gives economics characteristic hierarchical structure. In last section, we stressed several important facts about worldview, social impact and financial position of economists, which distanced themselfs from scientists in other fields and, as well as the broader layers of the population. In the paper, the focus is on the ideas, attitudes and citations of economists, and not on their material position.
