The paper presents I. T. Pososhkov’s views as a reflection of XVIII century Russian state residents’ economical mindset. There is a comparison between these views and the paradigms of economical, legal and managerial thinking which emerged in Western Europe - cameralistics and the conception of police state. Cameralistics as a science related to government household was connected with cameral accounting (without double entry method), when account was maintained through a services volume given by labor, land or “fund” (human-produced economic goods complex). According to the conception of police state, a person in his social determination is an analysis benchmark. He is a community (government) member that is able to observe social behavior rules and the laws, to keep house correctly. A goal set by Pososhkov is to describe behavior norms of such a person and conditions which help to solve this purpose.
