The major criterion for evaluation of an economic theory is it's success (or failure) when it can be seen as if it was applied, i.e. only potential of application legitimises economic theory (in opposite to the empirical legality in natural sciences) to becomes a popular and respected part of our scientific knowledge. Such an argument can provide, together with other methodological characteristics, an original insight into evolution of economic knowledge from point of view of philosophy of science as well as it may serve for a self-reflection of current state and method of economic research.
