Milton Friedman on Monetary Policy - Dictionary of Arguments
Mause I 57 Monetary Policy/Friedman/FriedmanVsKeynesianism/FriedmanVsKeynes: Thesis: monetary policy can only achieve short-term success, but is neutral in the long term. Although expansionary monetary policy could initially increase demand and employment, workers would not be subject to monetary illusion and would demand a compensation for the inflation-related reduction in their real wages, i.e. an increase in nominal wages, which would cancel out the initial employment effect. In the long term, unemployment would therefore remain constant; monetary policy would only have caused prices to rise and would not have had any real employment effects. "Real" problems (e.g. unemployment) could only be solved by "real" measures (e.g. facilitating the recruitment of workers by relaxing employment protection, minimum wage and similar regulations). The monetarists therefore recommend a steady monetary policy with the objective of price stability.(1) >Monetarism. 1. M. Friedman, The role of monetary policy. American Economic Review 58, 1968, pp. 1-17. - - - Brocker I 398 Monetary Policy/Friedman: a steady monetary policy can eliminate the political and even make central banks superfluous. The aim is to expand the money supply moderately and regularly. In theory, it is sufficient for a banknote issuing office to set up a standing order for an amount x.
