AB  - In previous efforts the author has examined the various
“men” of economics or human‐nature assumptions of
“economic thinkers” as a way of treating the history and
philosophy of the discipline. Here, under the thematic penumbra of
“Man as the Centre of the Social Economy”, and hoping to
incorporate the fruits of further inquiry into the matter, those
“creatures” and their fashioners are critically reconsidered
with a view towards arriving at a more adequate conception of a truly
human “economiser” and – accordingly – science
of human economy. In Part II, having presented homo oeconomicus
in both his/her “impudent” and “honourable”
versions, we shall attempt to transcend homo socioeconomicus and
even our own (former) homo oeconomicus humanus as well.
