I think one term is 'post-autistic economics'. The whole idea that everyone is a profit-maximizing sociopath named Economic Man isn't quite accurate. Although I suspect when it comes to the behaviors of corporations, it may not be too far from the truth.

Come on, any science of economic behavior that can't explain advertising is seriously flawed.
