First Sentence

One of the oldest ideas in economics is the quantity theory of money; indeed, The New Palgrave describes the proposition that increases in the stock of money eventually cause prices to rise in the same proportion as being 'older than economic theory itself' (Bridel, 1989, p. 298) With suitable extensions to recognise the impact of changes in the volume of economic transactions or the velocity of circulation (Fisher, 1911), and more generally the impact of changes in real money demand (Friedman, 1956), this long-standing theory remains the starting point for much modern analysis in monetary economics.
