Abstract

The body of contemporary theoretical economics is made up of an ever-increasing number of more or less interdependent individual theories with differentiated cognitive and operative functions. The main purpose of Part II is to devise and illustrate a classification of economic theories that would serve as a framework tentatively to accommodate the main results of this study to be developed in detail in Parts III and IV. The suggested taxonomy criterion will permit a classification of economic theories according to their intended epistemological status and instrumental roles.
