I think this is getting into map vs. territory issues. This is certainly the domain of economics -- the particular simplifying model used by many economists does not appear to paint a complete picture. By analogy, adapting a James Morrow quote: "Economics does have all the answers. The problem is that we don’t have all the economics". Power and knowledge asymmetries are well within the domain that economics tries to encompass.
