4. PROBLEMS WITH ECONOMIC THEORY
• Classical economic theory focuses on price. It fails to take into account major
forces that affect market behavior and market institutions, namely the impact of
marketing channels, advertising, sales force, and sales promotion on demand
and supply.
• Classical economic theory assumes rational maximizing behavior on the part of
consumers, middlemen, and producers.
• The new economics is now called behavioral economics. The Nobel Prize in
Economic Science recognized Kahneman and Tversky, two psychologists, for
their work on economic irrationality. Behavioral economics is another word for
Marketing! For 100 years marketers have been enriching economic theory
without gaining any recognition from economists.
