Abstract
In this article the evolution of «homo economicus» notion is presented from 18-th century up to the present time. It is shown how in the postindustrial society (XX-XXI centuries) the world financial elite using Mass Media and advertising applies the hedonistic way of life and values in order to form the quasicorrect and «the only one» «homo economicus» human model as a massive consumer of constantly replicable services and goods.
