Relationship With Other Theories of Money
Debt theories of money fall into a broader category of work which postulates that monetary creation is endogenous.
In the forms commonly held by those to the left of the political spectrum, Debt theories have some overlap with Chartalism and are opposed to Metallism and often to the Quantity theory of money. Conversely, in the forms held by those with a Libertarian or Conservative perspective, debt theories of money are often compatible with the Quantity theory, and with Metalism at least when the latter is broadly understood.

Famous quotes containing the words relationship, theories and/or money:
“Film music should have the same relationship to the film drama that somebody’s piano playing in my living room has to the book I am reading.”
—Igor Stravinsky (1882–1971)
“Generalisation is necessary to the advancement of knowledge; but particularly is indispensable to the creations of the imagination. In proportion as men know more and think more they look less at individuals and more at classes. They therefore make better theories and worse poems.”
—Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)
“Americans living in Latin American countries are often more snobbish than the Latins themselves. The typical American has quite a bit of money by Latin American standards, and he rarely sees a countryman who doesn’t. An American businessman who would think nothing of being seen in a sport shirt on the streets of his home town will be shocked and offended at a suggestion that he appear in Rio de Janeiro, for instance, in anything but a coat and tie.”
—Hunter S. Thompson (b. 1939)
