Opis

Reprinting the second edition (which included a new introduction explaining developments which had emerged since first publication) this book discusses:

• explorations in the fundamental theory of a monetary economy
• a theoretical critique of the ‘Phillips Curve’ approach to the theory of inflation
• the theory of the term structure of interest rates in terms of the theory of forward markets pioneered by David Meiselman.
