Debt-based Monetary System - Relationship With Other Theories of Money

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 with, relationship, theories and/or money:

    Guilty, guilty, guilty is the chant divorced parents repeat in their heads. This constant reminder remains just below our consciousness. Nevertheless, its presence clouds our judgment, inhibits our actions, and interferes in our relationship with our children. Guilt is a major roadblock to building a new life for yourself and to being an effective parent.
    Stephanie Marston (20th century)

    Living in cities is an art, and we need the vocabulary of art, of style, to describe the peculiar relationship between man and material that exists in the continual creative play of urban living. The city as we imagine it, then, soft city of illusion, myth, aspiration, and nightmare, is as real, maybe more real, than the hard city one can locate on maps in statistics, in monographs on urban sociology and demography and architecture.
    Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)

    Whatever practical people may say, this world is, after all, absolutely governed by ideas, and very often by the wildest and most hypothetical ideas. It is a matter of the very greatest importance that our theories of things that seem a long way apart from our daily lives, should be as far as possible true, and as far as possible removed from error.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    Put not your trust in money, but put your money in trust.
    Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
