      abstract = {This trilogy deals with an epistemology of economics,  arguing for a radical overturning of conventional analysis  and providing an alternative to political economy and  social sciences, based not on positivism, but on a  normative and programming paradigm. Volume II builds on the  work presented in Volume I to explore oppositions to the  traditional and conventional teaching of economics, and  presents testimonies that are favourable to a trend towards  a programming approach, thereby giving substance to the  epistemological 'overturning' of conventional analysis.  Such oppositions studied include the work of Ludvig von  Mises and his theory of praxeology; Ian Tinbergen and  Wassily Leontif's preference for 'planning' over  'forecasting science'; Bruno de Finetti and Daniel Bell's  support for the base of 'utopia' in economics; the trend  from the 'theory of planning' towards the 'methodology of  planning, by Andreas Faludi; neoclassic curiosity about the  'multi-purposes approach' and 'non-economic commodities' as  investigated by Walter Isard, as well as theories expressed  by Herbert Simon, Robert Lucas, George Soros and Mark  Blaug. Volume III takes studies further and presents a  concrete and practical example of how to build a Planning  Accounting Framework (PAF), as associated with Frisch's  'plan-frame' (explored in Volume II), to demonstrate the  extent to which decisions and negotiations can be routed in  the social sciences.},
