“Underground” Economy Nature – Conceptual Status

Cristina VOICU
Bucharest Academy of Economic Studies

Abstract. Economical experience is a projection of economic theory. What happens when the unintended consequences are more then those intended? We somehow managed to score the difference between what a science transmits and what we find in reality? We support such that the theory is the source of the crisis of a science? The economic theory of corporate capitalism is now the source of the economics science crisis? Investigations of the above can be multiplied up to a challenge, insufficiently tested, that of demystifying the nature of “underground” economy. Feel more acutely the need to rationally justify a right to conceptualize a reality that, at least statistically, can not be neglected.

Keywords: “underground” economy; economics theory; human nature and human condition; epistemology; conceptualization.
