Econophysics is a scientific field in development during the past twenty years. It is an interdisciplinary science that employs methods and tools from physics in solving economical problems. Accelerated development of the overall society has led to unexpected ideas and synergies in economics. Thanks to the globalisation and technological development, economic events become very complex and difficult to predict which is why modern economics apart from mathematics and statistics also uses physics in order to make economic predictions. Although economics is a social science, economic laws have similarities with natural laws, therefore the use of physics in this field sounds promising. In this paper the possibilities of applying econophysics to economics will be analyzed, and it will be tried to show that this young scientific discipline really helps to solve economic problems. In addition, the review will be provided to the history and foundations of economics, with the aim of getting to know this currently exotic interdisciplinary science.
