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.

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.
