Abstract: Ivan Pososhkov is one of the founders of Russian economic thought. He is the author of the first systematized treatise on economic issues in its history - "Book on Poverty and Wealth", which will celebrate its 300th anniversary in three years. Pososhkov's ideas have aroused unceasing interest among historians of economic sciences, and for a long time he was considered as a representative of the mercantilist school in Russia. In the last decade, however, mainly, but not only in the Russian specialized literature, a discussion has unfolded about the categorization of his concept and its referring to a specific school/field of economics. The purpose of the article is a critically analysis of the arguments offered and an attempt to make sense of the place of Pososhkov's views in the history of economic doctrines. As a result, his concept is categorized within the frames of “cameralism”.
