| Tiivistelmä: | In his critique of Milton Fiedman's methodological position, Paul Samuelson once dubbed as the "F-twist" the thesis that the truth of assumptions is irrelevant to the acceptability of a theory, provided its predictions succeed. This thesis has established itself as the shared point of reference in the ongoing controversy over the assumptions of economic theory - which in turn is the most important methodological debate within the discipline. |
