The process of «returning» of cultural concepts to the mainstream of economic thinking, the growing recognition of the essential role of ethno-cultural factors in economic processes is considered in the article. Different approaches to the study of the influence of historically developed national cultural stereotypes on economic development and, in particular, on international economic processes in the global world are analyzed. An understanding of culture is formulated in its significance for economic processes, namely, as of informal institutions that are the product of a long historical development of peoples, is formulated. Culture in this regard is a set of collective mental stereotypes and behaviors that are sustainably transmitted from generation to generation and to a significant degree determine, motivate and shape economic activity and interaction of economic actors. It is shown that modern studies pay the most attention to the influence of cultural and historical capital of various peoples on their economic success compared with other countries, on the international competitiveness of national economies. In this connection, the cultural and historical foundations of high entrepreneurial activity, creativity, and attitude to work are analyzed.
