The processes that have taken place in the world economy in recent years clearly demonstrate that the ideological convictions that prevail in different countries have a tangible impact on the economic policies they pursue, while the provisions of economic science sometimes prove to have no significant impact on them. Although the influence of political ideologies on the economy has been repeatedly addressed at both the macro and micro levels of economic processes, ideologies themselves, as types of subjective information, have rarely become objects of analysis from the point of view of economics, including cognitive one. The purpose of this article is to analyze the existing approaches to the economic analysis of political ideologies and to propose, on this basis, some clarifications of the developed concepts. The task of these clarifications is to outline the opportunities and limitations that exist on the path of the purposeful creation of such ideologies that, having become widely supported by voters, would ensure a more successful achievement of the goals of the economic policy pursued by the state. The analysis carried out is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing on results obtained within the framework of economic, political and biological sciences, as well as social and political psychology and neuroscience.
