Manifesto for a Second Monetarist Revolution

Brendan Brown

Chapter 3 in The Global Curse of the Federal Reserve, 2011, pp 72-100 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The long playing drama of US monetary instability through its various distinct acts since 1914 has had only few intermissions, all of brief duration. The actors and the plot change over time. Some acts are epic and global in scale. Others are monotonous and largely uneventful. There is no script but perpetual improvisation. And from early on (though not right at the beginning) a wide array of critics have been passing comment, some from the vantage point of live spectators, others as researchers of the historical record. Some of the critics have identified themselves strongly with particular schools of monetary economics. They take issue with the false doctrines or lack of doctrine on the part of Federal Reserve policy-makers responsible for the given (actual or historic) monetary turbulence.
