Quantity theory of money

effect : Countries that start off poor tend to grow more rapidly than countries that start off rich Y=C+I+G S=I S=(Y-T-C) + (T-G) = private saving – public saving. Because a high interest rate makes borrowing more expensive, the quantity of loanable funds demanded falls as the interest rate rises. The supply and demand for loanable funds depend on the real interest rate and not nominal. Increase in saving = shift the supply of loanable funds to the right = reduces the interest

Friedman. The monetarist theory of inflation asserts that the general price level would rise only due an increase in money supply, but will not be proportionate. According to monetarists, money supply is the dominant but not exclusive determinant of both prices and the output level in the short run, but in the long run money supply only determines the level of prices. The output level in the long run is not determined by money supply. Monetarists emphasize so much on the role of money and therefore hold

Milton Friedman in his long and distinguished career made significant contribution, in the economic analysis, including methods, key areas of money, consumption, economic policy, the inflation rate and the unemployment rate, and the exchange rate policy debate.

could best utilize them.

Hayek’s essay regarding the use of knowledge in society and the formation of money prices contains vestiges of his forerunners’ contributions
