Central Bank Independence and the Legacy of the German Past, by Simon Mee
I have always wondered about the standard explanation of Germany’s (West Germany 1949–90) comparatively low rates of inflation since the Second World War, which is based on the bitter remembrances of the economic and social costs of the hyperinflation of 1922–3, when prices rose 10,200,000,000 times in 15 months (322 per cent per month), and paved the way for the rise of Hitler in 1933. After all, the Great Depression of 1929–33 was especially se…
Are There Important Differences between Classical and Twenty-First-Century Monetary Theories? Did the Keynesian and Monetarist Revolutions Matter
It is not generally realized how little changed monetary theory and the theory and practice of monetary policy are from the time before Keynes's General Theory. Explanations of business fluctuations by Keynes's predecessors closely resemble the current literature, notwithstanding significant changes in the economic structure and several vaunted revolutions in theory in the meantime. Monetary policy is similarly unchanged from its dominant focus o…
Central Banking in a Democracy
The Federal Reserve System, which has been Congress’s agent for the control of money since 1913, has a mixed reputation. Its errors have been huge. It was the principal cause of the Great Depression of the 1930s and the inflation of the 1970s, and participated in the massive bailouts of financial institutions at taxpayers' expense during the recent Great Recession. This book is a study of the causes of the Fed’s errors, with lessons for an improv…
The Great Deflation of 1929-33
There are many explanations of the fall in prices and production called the Great Depression of 1929-33, but this article argues that a sufficient explanation of the price fall-the Great Deflation-was the resumption of the gold convertibility of currencies at prewar parities. The value (general purchasing power) of a convertible currency must be the relative cost of producing gold and other goods, which did not change significantly between 1914 a…
