Influence of ethnic and religious characteristics on the economic behaviour of the population

Population, people have always had certain national, ethnic, historical characteristics, traditions, as well as the style of life and work formed over centuries by climatic condi-tions, according to which the economic mentality is shaped. The mentality formed his-torically over centuries determines the national model of economic and social beha-viour. Based on the analysis of works of leading academic economists, historians, soci-ologists, ecologists and philosophers we attempted to describe the influence of living conditions of the Eurasian peoples on their economic behaviour taking into account eth-nic and confessional characteristics.
