blocks of thought
Although I would tend to agree with Marco's interpretation, I am curious as to why the writer chose the word "blocchi", instead of going with the more usual "scuole di pensieri", and think that his or her choice may not be casual.

"Finally, a third section is devoted to an assessment of the two blocks of thought on expectations investigated in the previous sections and leads to the conclusion that the scope and limits of the theory of fluctuations developed in the years of rational expectations are narrower than the scope and limits of the theory developed by the economists of previous generation."

"So far I have sketched two blocks of thought that stand as somewhat opposite to one another. On the one hand, I have examined the views of those writers ...
