	Monetarism - HISTORY AND BACKGROUND, THE MONETARIST COUNTERREVOLUTION, KEY MONETARIST PROPOSITIONS
		Monetarism asserts that monetary policy is very powerful, but that it should not be used as a macroeconomic policy to manage the economy.
		First of all, it should be noted that monetarism was an attempt by conservative economists to reestablish the wisdom of the classical laissez faire recommendation and was an attack on the activist macroeconomic policy recommendations of the Keynesian economists.
		At a more theoretical level, proponents of monetarism argue that investment (a component of private sector demand) is very sensitive to changes in interest rates, whereas the demand for money (the amount of money people want to hold in cash and checkable deposits for various purposes) is not very sensitive to changes in interest rates.

	monetarism

		Monetarism is closely associated with neo-conservatism, a version of liberalism that stresses free markets and individualism rather than the welfare state’ vision that had become dominant in most western societies.
