Paying The Price II

"Monetarism can be harsh, but it keeps down inflation." Yer what?

Can you think of anything significant that has happened since 2009? A change of Chancellor, perhaps?

  1. And the monetarist attempt to control inflation by targetting the money supply in the early 1980s in the US (1979-1982) was a total disaster.

    Monetarist macrotheory is fundamentally flawed, as our broad money stock is endogenous, and the sources of inflation are far more complicated than the simplistic equation MV = PT.
