	Money - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Money is any marketable good or token used by a society as a medium of exchange, store of value and unit of account.
		The widespread acceptance of fiat money is most frequently enhanced by the central authority mandating the money's acceptance under penalty of law and demanding this money in payment of taxes or tribute.
		Money is one of the most central topics studied in economics and forms its most cogent link to finance.

	Glossary: Money Supply (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Money supply is measured in a variety of ways, but the most widely cited measurements are M1, M2 and M3 -- the "monetary aggregates." M1 is chiefly currency in circulation and bank checking accounts.
		This reflected the monetarist tenet that the money supply is the main determinant of economic activity.
		The Fed stopped targeting money supply growth and started targeting the fed funds rate because, it explains, "the combination of interest rate deregulation and financial innovation disrupted the historical relationships between M1 and the objectives of monetary policy." In other words, the development of new types of financial products complicated measurement of the money supply.

	Money Supply, by Anna J. Schwartz: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty
		A different view is that the magnitude of the money supply is determined not by the Federal Reserve but by the decisions of the public and the banks.
		According to this view a decline in the money supply is a response to a decline in people's demand to hold it, not an independent action by suppliers to reduce the quantity of money.
		Since 1914 an actual decline of the money supply has occurred during only three business cycle contractions, each of which was severe as judged by the decline in output and rise in unemployment: 1920 to 1921, 1929 to 1933, 1937 to 1938.

	Why Money Supply Matters - Mises Institute
		For the period 1971 to 2005 in the euro area, money growth (measured as annual change in the stock of M3) and consumer price inflation exhibit a rather obvious relation, that is higher money supply growth is accompanied by higher inflation and vice versa.
		That is, a rise (decline) in money growth is accompanied with an increase (fall) in inflation.
		Interestingly, money expansion seems to lead changes in nominal wealth since around the end of the 1990s; that is, a change in nominal wealth seems to have followed changes in money supply.

	The Money Supply - Federal Reserve Bank of New York
		The Federal Reserve System and public- and private-sector analysts have long monitored the growth of the money supply because of the effects that money supply growth is believed to have on real economic activity and on the price level.
		In the past two decades, however, the relationship between growth in the money supply and the performance of the U.S. economy has become much weaker, and emphasis on the money supply as a guide to monetary policy has waned.
		In 2000, when the Humphrey-Hawkins legislation requiring the Fed to set target ranges for money supply growth expired, the Fed announced that it was no longer setting such targets, because money supply growth does not provide a useful benchmark for the conduct of monetary policy.

		Money is not neutral, so no rule that increases the money stock can avoid the distortions that are inevitably introduced.
		Vitor at November 8, 2005 09:15 AM Actually, the best rule is not to freeze the money supply but rather to peg it to some key measures (seed corn in Heinlein's "Time Enough for Love", bullion in a gold or silver standard).
		Then there would actually be an increase in money supply to the extent that economic capacity actually grew; the seigneury from this should not be treated as a windfall gain but rather put into a sort of open ended sinking fund to cover any fluctuations by pulling in money if inflation loomed.

		There's a school of economic thought that considers a decline in the money supply -- such as the one that's been taking place over the past two months -- a sign that the Fed is tightening monetary policy.
		If this decline in the money supply were to continue, it could restrain economic activity -- not to mention pull the stock market down.
		The first thing that comes to mind is that the Fed doesn't have total control over the money supply, so its decline may be a reflection, rather than a cause, of a weakening in economic activity.
