Summary
This book of readings discusses these curcial questions. Part one contains an essay written 220 years ago by David Hume in which he identifies problems of monetary adjustment which are still discussed. Milton Friedman supplies the modern version of the quantity theory of money. The foundation of the Keynesian and monetary models are provided in Part two, which also contains an examination of the empirical evidence on the demand for money in the US and the UK. Kaldor and Freidman debate the monetary mechanism in Part three. The last part looks at the actual methods banks use to control money supply through credit creation and bank deposits.
