On Practical Validity of Quantity Theory of Money, or How Much the Dogmatism of Monetary Authorities Costs

S. Glazyev

Voprosy Ekonomiki, 2008, issue 7

Abstract: The article critically considers basic postulates of quantity theory of money. It shows that they reflect the static state of the economy in abstract models of market equilibrium but do not prove true in actual economic processes. In contrast to monetarists’ view, prices can rise as well as fall even if other variables of the monetarist equation are stable. Thus it cannot be used for grounding monetary policy. The author comes to the conclusion on the dogmatism of Russian monetary authorities that seriously hinders the country’s economic development. He proposes to switch to market organization of money supply basing on regulation of the refinancing rate.
