Although a bit dated, H. H. Liebhafsky's (r.i.p) 1971 text published by Wiley 
& sons, _American Government and Business_ addresses not only the role of 
logical positivism, but compares and contrasts it with natural law and 
instrumentalist approaches.  It also shows the philosophical ties between 
positivism as used in the law, and how that also relates to economics. 
Chapters 2 and 3 (pps. 18-39) and the Appendix (p. 565 ff.) address this issue 
specifically, but the entire book is built around the differences in the three 
approaches (actually four, since he also distinguishes between "mystical" and 
"secular" natural law).  I also have an electronic copy (kinda rough) of the 
entire syllabus for that Methodology course, with readings dating back to the 
Greeks and ending with a few articles from the mid-'70s.  Anyone who might 
like to have a copy, can e-mail me directly and I'll send it along.
