The Money Supply

This collection brings together a selection of previously published articles which outline the role of the money supply in the economic process from a post-Keynesian perspective, paying particular attention to the writings of N. Kaldor. The 32 articles date from 1957 to 1992.

This book is an attempt to make sense of over 40 years of Actual Money printing; and the ugly rise of Credit Money. This book notes that the Actual Money Supply doubles every ten years instead of growing with population growth giving rise to Inflation. In conclusion this book gives information as to where such Actual Money and Credit Money currently resides and where the excesses were. This book is written to give you, the reader, a general sense of what has happened to money in general.

A pioneering work in comparative monetary and financial studies, this is the first international comparative, empirical study of the money supply process (MSP) that involves all of the basic types of economies and institutional economic systems at all levels of economic development. As the authors note at the outset, the highly relative nature of the MSP contributes to wide differences in the MSP in different types of economies. Yet the MSP is one of the most important topics of both monetary theory and monetary practice. The comparative approach adopted here enables the authors to explain the differences that do occur in the MSP across economies and what causes them. By properly defining the general theory and overall monetary theory of MSP, the authors offer the reader both a better understanding of the national MSP and a broad framework of possibilities for improving the efficiency of monetary policy. The authors begin by describing their approach to an analysis of the MSP in national economies and the concepts and models used in this analysis. They then explain the classification of economies used in the study and their methodological approach, which is based on a two-dimensional flow of funds accounts matrix. Four chapters present the empirical evidence derived from this approach. Included are both a holistic analysis and a structural comparative analysis of the MSP. A separate chapter presents a comparative analysis involving 100 countries of the MSP during the 1978-83 time period. Finally, the authors look at the influence of the balance-of-payments and of domestic institutional sectors on the MSP. Their concluding chapters summarize their findings and point the way to further research in this area. Scholars and policymakers in economics, macroeconomics, and monetary policy will find this an illuminating addition to the literature of the money supply process.

What is Money Supply The term "money supply" is used in the field of macroeconomics to refer to the entire amount of money that is owned by the general population at a specific point in time. The term "money" can be defined in a number of different ways; however, the most common metrics commonly comprise demand deposits and currency that is in circulation. In most cases, the national statistical agency or the central bank of the country is the entity responsible for recording and publishing data regarding the money supply. Measures of the empirical money supply are typically referred to by names such as M1, M2, M3, etc., depending on the extent to which they encompass a broad definition of money. The specific definitions differ from one nation to the next, in part because of the traditions that are associated with the various national financial institutions.
