Abstract
Economic consciousness is characterized as a system component of con-sciousness in connection with the special place that business activity occupies in the social life of modern man. The formation of economic consciousness begins with self-awareness as a subject of economic relations, that is, with the formation of economic consciousness, the possibility of acti-vating entrepreneurial activity. Economic consciousness is the basis for the formation of such a class as creative entrepreneurs. Creative entrepreneurship is fundamentally different from the usual labor standards, it requires great skills, the ability to constantly learn.
