About the Book

Monetary economics is a branch of economics that provides a framework for analysing money in its functions as a medium of exchange, store of value, and unit of account. It considers fiat currency can gain acceptance purely because of its convenience as a public good. Monetary economics formally emerged as a field of study in the 1950s through the concept of monetarism as described by economist Milton Friedman. Monetarism postulates that government regulation of a nation’s money supply can ensure economic stability by keeping prices and inflation under control. In this way, monetary economics is an offshoot of Keynesian economics, which calls for an active government role in balancing economic fluctuations.
