Abstract: The interdisciplinary study "ECONOMICS IN WORDS. Terminology Consistency in Translations of Economic Texts" is aimed to assess terminology consistency within corpora of Latvian and Russian textbooks on economics of "three generations" (1990s, 2000s and 2010s) (n = 61 textbook), and in addition to them – bilingual and multilingual dictionaries of economic terms issued in Latvia and Russia since 1990 (n = 9 dictionaries). In the framework of this study, terminology consistency is conceptually understood as a component of the overall quality of terminology in translations of economic texts. Results of the empirical research show that terminology consistency in textbooks on economics statistically significantly increased in the 2010s compared to the 1990s and 2000s. Using the methodology of linguistic discourse analysis, which includes both quantitative and qualitative methods, the author concluded that translation studies are able to discern social asymmetries behind linguistic ones. Considering the experience of socio-economic metamorphoses both over the past 30 years and in earlier periods, the author emphasizes the special importance of critical thinking in the creation, translation and perception of modern economic texts. The work is positioned by the author as a scientific research in the field of economic linguistics, which covers the relationship between economic reality and the language of economic texts.
