Touches to the Intellectual Biography of Academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences A.N. Efimov: The Ural Start

Intellectual history is a special area of research that involves combining the history of ideas with an analysis of the external environment that led to the emergence, institutionalization and dissemination of certain views. The purpose of the article is to clarify certain nuances of the institutional design of academic economics in the Urals through the features of the early stages of the intellectual biography of the famous Soviet economist, academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences Anatoly Nikolaevich Efimov. To achieve this goal, the study used not only the author's publications of A.N. Efimov himself, but also archival materials concentrated in funds No. 1 and 17 of the Department of Funds and Information Services of the Central Scientific Library of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Thus, the hypothesis about the conditionality of the appearance of relevant theories or concepts in the context of the life path of their authors is confirmed.
