	Annual Report 1998 - Report Article - Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond
		Theories may survive because experience indicates that they possess a high degree of validity and because no better theories have been found.
		A series of monetary crises in the 1820s and 1830s, however, convinced the Currency School that adjustment was far from smooth and that convertibility per se was by no means a guaranteed safeguard to overissue.
		Underlying all these arguments were the presuppositions (1) that full employment is the dominant policy concern, (2) that the employment benefits of monetary stimuli exceed their inflationary costs, and (3) that disinflationary monetary policy, because entrenched inflation is so resistant to it, would produce intolerably large and protracted reductions in output and employment.

	David Sklar / The Monetary Policy Put-on
		AN examination of monetary theory is very much in order, because it is currently at the top of the academic economists' list of recession remedies.
		This theory, that capital employs labor, that an increase in the supply of capital increases employment of laborers and also increases wages, is implicit in all the writings of the monetary men, such as Kissinger and Friedman.
		Because the monetary theory economists accept the wages fund theory, though they may not even be aware they are doing so, the whole structure of their thought rests on a fallacy - an inversion of cause and effect.

	THE AUSTRIAN THEORY OF THE BUSINESS CYCLE
		The theory sheds light on the kind of readjustments needed on the eve of the bust, but the issue of the depth and length of the ensuing depression as measured by the massive unemployment of labor are dealt with by the Austrians in ways that are similar to several other schools of thought.
		The theory sheds no light on the problems inherent in a credit-driven boom such as occurred during the 1920s, and it does not explain—nor does it purport to explain—why the money supply began to fall at the end of the 1920s or why there was a prolonged monetary contraction spanning the years 1929-1933.
		The integration of monetary theory with a rich theory of capital involving temporally sequenced stages of production which are coordinated intertemporally by market mechanisms provides a theoretically sound and historically relevant basis for an understanding of the problem of business cycles.

		In other words, the best monetary policy in the context of central banking is a non-discretionary money-supply target set by universal rules of price stability, unaffected by the economic needs or political considerations of individual nations.
		But the theology of monetary economics has a long and complex history, an understanding of which is necessary for forming any informed opinion on the validity and purpose of central banking.
		In denying that the quantity theory was a theory of income determination, Friedman freed it from the Keynesian criticism that it assumes full employment.

	The Monetary Theory of Production - Cambridge University Press
		In mainstream economic theory money functions as an instrument for the circulation of commodities or for keeping a stock of liquid wealth.
		Augusto Graziani challenges traditional theories of monetary production, arguing that a modern economy based on credit cannot be understood without a focus on the administration of credit flow.
		A strong exponent of the circulation theory of monetary production, Graziani presents an original and perhaps controversial argument which will stimulate debate on the topic.

	Monetary Theories of the Cycle
		In business cycle theory, the Continental tradition has tended to be to emphasize that it is "real" phenomena -- technological change in particular -- that pushes the economy out of equilibrium and that it is the consequent unbalanced structure of the real economy that drives the cycle.
		In both these theories, credit plays a role -- in particular, the starting point for all of them is Knut Wicksell's insight on the relationship between the "natural" rate of interest and the "money" rate of interest.
		The cycle theory of Friedrich Hayek (1929, 1931) is concentrated on "horizontal" aspects and thus closer in spirit to the Continental tradition of Spiethoff and Cassel.

	HAYEKIAN TRADE CYCLE THEORY: A REAPPRAISAL
		The status accorded the Hayekian theory of the trade cycle seems—especially to those outside the Austrian tradition—to be out of proportion to the significance of the phenomenon this theory is intended to explain.
		In applied theory, the injection effects of monetary expansion—whatever their actual form—are trivialized as "first-round effects." Attention is directed instead to the long-run effects of money creation on nominal incomes and the level of prices.
		He built his theory on a solid microeconomic foundation; he identified the effects of credit expansion on relative prices; and he drew on capital theory to show why the boom was inherently unsustainable and why the bust was characterized by an excess of higher-order capital goods and a shortage of lower-order capital goods.

	Monetary Theory, Prof. Rittershausen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		While monetary theory had reached some kind of developmental climax at the time of Knapp, Knapp himself, nevertheless, through his confusion of terms, has become one of the originators of its decline.
		That wrong theory of money creation through central banks with which we will concern ourselves later, is being developed more and more to a theory of an exclusive "creation" of money by the central banks.
		The prohibition of private generation of monetary claims or the so called centralization of money "creation" in one note-issuing bank would of course mean the end of any liberal economic constitution, an issue we will address later.

	MONETARY THEORY.
		Monetary theory is presented here in terms of its historical development, and in the main, its development since the 1930s.
		Moreover, monetary theory essentially concerns the question of the role of money in macroeconomic models (although an understanding of this role frequently requires the study of the micro foundations of such models).
		This structure reflects the attempt to treat monetary theory as such as comprehensively as possible and to relate it to macro theory and to its own history.

	Glossary, Qua - Monetary theory of the trade cycle
		Economic theory based on the knowledge that there are no constant relations in the sphere of human actions and that the exact future is always uncertain because the value judgments of acting men cannot be determined in advance with certainty.
		The theories of "Mathematical economists" based on the idea that there are constant relations in the sphere of human actions that can be quantified or measured, thus permitting the application of statistics and mathematical theories to economics.
		In 1588, Bemardo Davanzati (1529-1606) espoused the first crude quantity theory of money by equating the total quantity of monetary metal to the total of all things able to satisfy human wants and then reasoning that the prices of available commodity units were proportional to the available quantity of monetary units.

	AN AUSTRIAN THEORY OF BUSINESS CYCLES
		Some economists have speculated that the pre-eminence of gold and silver indicated a shift from useful to ornamental qualities for money (use of gold and silver for dentistry was rare before the late 19th century).
		To illustrate the quantity theory of money one can imagine a tiny economy on the island of Fantastica consisting of 1000 silver coins and a few items of commerce: bushels of coconuts costing 10 coins each, axes costing 30 coins and oxen costing 100 coins each.
		Government agencies that attack economic growth on the basis of bizzare theories of the dangers of an "overheated economy" are a threat to progress and prosperity -- to say nothing of freedom.

		FM06C\ A \\ Classical Portfolio Theory \2\\ In marked contrast to Keynesian theory, classical theory is very incompatible with the notion that: (a) investment is a mechanism whereby the economy moves towards the optimal stock of capital.

		Keynesian monetary theory can be interpreted as rejecting the conclusion of classical monetary theory that: (a) the income velocity of money is extremely stable.

	Money Supply, by Anna J. Schwartz: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty
		It did so on the theory that borrowed reserves made member banks reluctant to extend loans, because their desire to repay their own indebtedness to the Federal Reserve as soon as possible was supposed to inhibit their willingness to accommodate borrowers.
		It has interpreted a rise in interest rates as tighter monetary policy and a fall as easier monetary policy.
		If easy monetary policy is expected to cause inflation, lenders demand a higher interest rate to compensate for this inflation, and borrowers are willing to pay a higher rate because inflation reduces the value of the dollars they repay.

	Mises on Money, Part V
		His theory of the monetary origin of the business cycle, he believed in 1931, had been universally accepted.
		The interest rate is an aspect of monetary theory, but as he shows, interest is not exclusively an aspect of monetary affairs.
		Mises's theory of the business cycle places secondary responsibility for the boom, with all of its malinvestment, on the profit-seeking bankers who use the fractional reserve banking system to create interest-bearing credit money.

	Monetary Theory and Policy
		The initial effect of an expansionary monetary policy is to lower interest rates.
		The concern was that such a hot economy could result in higher inflation; an increase in the federal funds rate could, according to monetary theory, slow the economy down enough to prevent higher inflation from taking hold.
		His remarks sparked a rally on the stock market, where analysts apparently interpreted his confidence in the course of economic events as evidence that the Fed would not raise short-term interest rates at their next meeting, in early February.

	Monetary theory
		By accumulation of experiments, failures, catastrophes and methods to solve them, we came to a result which seems to hold, but which remains subject to parasitic fluctuations, and is still not safe from general collapses in the future, even if that did not seem to significantly occur during the last decades in the developed countries.
		The monetary system that we will describe is based on a trust and information network between its users.
		One can submit the credit which one grants to somebody to the condition that the total of his debt whoever his creditors are does not exceed a certain amount, for fear his overdebt does not let him honour his loans.

		They merely execute transfers, (or, under monetary freedom, temporarily exchange large and uneven bills for their own typified and standardized ones, that can circulate more easily), or they do take over obligations, which already existed, and which, for off-setting or debiting, they confront with the obligations of their other customers.
