The paper examines the legislation on price regulation in certain industrially developed foreign countries in modern conditions of market economy. The development of the economic theory and practice of price regulation in the XX century in foreign countries is considered. The analysis of regulatory documents regulating prices for products in Austria, Belgium, France; changes in consumer prices in Russia and foreign countries is carried out. It is concluded that in ensuring the socio-economic security of the state, it is necessary to actively search for an economic theory that could become the foundation of a government economic program aimed at improving the welfare of the population.

Social Explanation

Economic theory is built on assumptions about human behavior—assumptions embodied in rational-choice theory. Underlying these assumptions are implicit notions about how we think and learn. These implicit notions are fundamentally important to social explanation. The very plausibility of the explanations that we develop out of rational-choice theory rests crucially on the accuracy of these notions about cognition and rationality. But there is a basic problem: There is often very little relationship between the assumptions that rational-choice theorists make and the way that humans actually act and learn in everyday life. This has significant implications for economic theory and practice. It leads to bad theories and inadequate explanations; it produces bad predictions and, thus, supports ineffective social policies.

The Way

This article broadens and clarifies the way social work conceptualizes its ecological/system constructs and the professional commitments that flow from them. It utilizes important insight from a contemporary, radical environmental philosophy—ecofeminism—to search for language and descriptions that may help the profession begin the process of formulating and depicting an expanded ecological model of practice. This article sketches the essential philosophical premises of a revisioned ecological model and offers suggestions for interpreting and applying this model. Specifically, it gives attention to critiquing the interrelated oppression stemming from modern economic theory and practice, and ways in which social workers may collaborate with communities and individuals to bring about change.
