Theories of money and inflation

The evolution of the theories of money is determined by the economic and political conditions of development, but all these theories are aimed at developing practical recommendations in the field of economic policy.

In the theories of money, three main areas should be distinguished: 1. Metallic; 2. nominalistic; 3. Quantitative.

metal theory identified money with precious metals - gold and silver and reflected the interests of the commercial bourgeoisie and its direction in political economy - mercantileism. According to this theory, the source of society's wealth is foreign trade, the surplus of which ensures the flow of precious metals into the country.

Nominalist theory denied the intrinsic value of money to justify the defacement of coins in order to increase the revenue of the treasury. The essence of nominalism was most clearly manifested in the theory of the German economist G. Knap. Its main provisions boiled down to the following: money is a product of the state legal order, a creation of state power; money is a charter means of payment, i.e., signs endowed by the state with payment power; The main function of money is a means of payment.

Quantity Theory of Money explains the level of commodity prices and the value of money by their quantity in circulation and became dominant in Western economic thought at the beginning of the 60th century as an important part of the neoclassical theory of reproduction. The most popular are two options - transactional and Cambridge. In the 80-XNUMXs, there was a revival of the quantity theory of money in the form of one of the neoclassical trends in political economy - monetarism, according to the theory of which the amount of money in circulation is the determining factor in the formation of the economic situation, since there is a direct relationship between changes in the money supply in circulation and the value of the gross national product.

Currently, there are three main directions in the theory of inflation:

1. Keynesian theory of inflation caused by excess demand. Representatives of this theory proceed from an analysis of the income and expenses of business entities and their impact on increasing demand. They believe that increased demand from the state and entrepreneurs leads to increased production and employment. At the same time, an increase in population demand leads to inflation, since demand is unproductive in nature;

2. Monetarist quantitative concept. Representatives of this school of thought view inflation as a monetary phenomenon, that is, the result of an excess amount of money in circulation and propose to maintain it at a moderate level, since inflation causes an increase in industrial production;

3. Extraordinary Cost Theory. This theory explains the rise in prices by an increase in production costs, associated mainly with an increase in wages.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

tiered mushroom 03.12.2010

On the islands of New Caledonia in the southwestern Pacific Ocean, French biologists from the Paris Museum of Natural History discovered an extremely unusual mushroom. It kind of resembles a fox, but has a pink color and grows in several tiers.

A new type of fungus lives in symbiosis with a local species of eucalyptus, braiding its roots with a shell of mycelium. New Caledonia is considered one of the "hot spots" of species diversity, here the process of emergence of new species is particularly fast. It is suggested that this may be due to the high content of metals in local soils, which causes mutations in all living things.

About 3000 species of mushrooms are known on the islands, but it is estimated that 25-30 thousand have not yet been discovered.
