There is a relationship between the quantity of money in an economy and the level of prices of goods and services. A well known theory has explained this important relationship logically. Explain that theory to elaborate the philosophy of this relationship in a meaningful way. The base for your discussion should be the Fisher’s equation of exchange. Furthermore, state the convincing reasons/criticisms due to which this quantity theory of money is considered as a weak theory and has no close concern with the real life situation.
