Money, Bank Credit and Prices

"Money, Bank Credit and Prices" is a comprehensive study of monetary economics that explores the intricate relationships between currency, banking institutions, and price fluctuations. Lionel D. Edie provides an in-depth analysis of the fundamental principles of credit and money, examining how bank lending practices and central bank policies influence the broader economic landscape. Written during a pivotal era for financial theory, the work offers a detailed investigation into the mechanics of the monetary system and the factors that drive inflation and deflation.The text addresses critical themes such as the function of the gold standard, the role of the Federal Reserve, and the measurement of price levels through various indices. By synthesizing theoretical frameworks with empirical data from the early 20th century, Edie provides a rigorous look at the dynamics of credit cycles and their impact on purchasing power.
