  • Nominality of Money: Theory of Credit Money and Chartalism Atsushi Naito
    Review of Keynesian Studies Vol.2 Atsushi Naito Nominality of Money: Theory of Credit Money and Chartalism Atsushi Naito Abstract This paper focuses on the unit of account function of money that is emphasized by Keynes in his book A Treatise on Money (1930) and recently in post-Keynesian endogenous money theory and modern Chartalism, or in other words Modern Monetary Theory. These theories consider the nominality of money as an important characteristic because the unit of account and the corresponding money as a substance could be anything, and this aspect highlights the nominal nature of money; however, although these theories are closely associated, they are different. The three objectives of this paper are to investigate the nominality of money common to both the theories, examine the relationship and differences between the two theories with a focus on Chartalism, and elucidate the significance and policy implications of Chartalism. Keywords: Chartalism; Credit Money; Nominality of Money; Keynes JEL Classification Number: B22; B52; E42; E52; E62 122 Review of Keynesian Studies Vol.2 Atsushi Naito I. Introduction Recent years have seen the development of Modern Monetary Theory or Chartalism and it now holds a certain prestige in the field. This theory primarily deals with state money or fiat money; however, in Post Keynesian economics, the endogenous money theory and theory of monetary circuit place the stress on bank money or credit money. Although Chartalism and the theory of credit money are clearly opposed to each other, there exists another axis of conflict in the field of monetary theory. According to the textbooks, this axis concerns the functions of money, such as means of exchange, means of account, and store of value.

  • "Winning the Future Amidst a Mountain of Debt" (For Complete Issue, Click Here (Pdf)
    April 4, 2011 Volume 30, Issue 6 In This Issue SPECIAL EDITION PROPOSED FY 2012 BUDGETS FOR SOCIAL AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE "Winning the Future Amidst a Mountain of Debt" (For Complete Issue, Click Here (pdf) On February 14, President Obama released his FY 2012 budget proposal that would "put forward a plan to rebuild our economy and winthe futureby out‐innovating, out‐educating, and out‐building our global competitors." He also stated that the U.S. should "invest in our people without leaving them a mountain of debt." His priorities in the proposal included science and technology, education, and national infrastructure. This task has become more difficult in the continuing failure of the Congress and the White House to reach an agreement on the budget for FY 2011, which began on October 1, 2010. On March 18, the President signed the congressionally‐enacted sixth Continuing Resolution (CR) to keep the government open. This CR runs out on April 8. As you read this, Washington is rife with talk of a coming government shutdown. For COSSA, producing this special issue that analyzes the president's budget proposals has presented a dilemma. Do we continue to wait for the final FY 2011 numbers or do we move ahead. After two months we have decided to do the latter. When the final appropriations for the current fiscal year are known we will amend the charts in the issue and post them on COSSA's web page. On February, the Republican‐led House of Representatives laid down its marker by enacting H.R. 1, which proposed reductions of $61 billion from the FY 2010 appropriated levels and included a number of policy riders unacceptable to the Senate and the White House.

  • Newsletter Number 34: January 2, 2011 the First Year of the Decade, 2010, Began with the Earthquakes in Haiti, Which Were Follow
    Newsletter Number 34: January 2, 2011 The first year of the decade, 2010, began with the earthquakes in Haiti, which were followed by the Gulf Coast oil spill. The near-depression of 2008-09 continued to wreak havoc even as the recession formally ended, and one of the last pieces of legislation passed by the government in 2010 was clearly a bipartisan, two-pronged approach at further stimulus and relief for those suffering from the consequences of the economic troubles. The rising influence of Asia, notably India and especially China, continued to play out in U.S. foreign and trade policy. The midterm elections were amazingly expensive, contentious, and extensively (if not always well) covered; & the House of Representatives will not exactly be a tea party for the Democratic Party. Yet the flurry of significant votes and legislation passed at the end of the 111th Congress suggested (again, for those familiar with history) that the media may need a new phrase to replace “lame- duck” to discuss post-election congressional meetings. Though they kicked the budget can down the road, the passage of New START, the repeal of DADT, the unsuccessful attempts to enact the Dream Act, and the aforementioned deal on extending the Bush era tax cuts for everyone regardless of income (including the 13 month extension of unemployment benefits for 99ers, the estate tax provision, and the 2% social security break for all workers) made this a rather significant congressional session whether you are thrilled, chilled, would rather have been billed, or wish it had all been killed.

  • A Collection of Essays
    A Collection of Essays TEN YEARS OF THE CLINTON PRESIDENTIAL CENTER 2004 – 2014 AN IMPACT THAT ENDURES By Chelsea Clinton When my family left the White House, my father faced a set of questions and opportunities about how to continue the work he had long championed through elected office as a private citizen. As he has said, while President, he confronted a seemingly endless horizon of challenges on any given day. Through the Clinton Foundation and its various initiatives, by necessity and deliberate choice, he has focused on tackling those urgent challenges which can be addressed outside government and on which he, and now our whole family, can have the most significant impact. What has not changed is what has always motivated my father —will people be better off when he’s done than when he started. I am grateful he hasn’t stopped yet—and has no plans to do so. The collection of essays that follows offers a window onto the various ways in which my father has served, in and out of elected office, and in the United States and around the world. Common threads emerge, in addition to how he keeps score of his own life, including a fearlessness to take on ostensibly impossible issues, a determination to see things through until the end and a belief that every success only contains another challenge to do things better next time. Because, as my father knows all too well, all too often there is a next time. The latter half of 2014 has been momentous in our family as Marc and I welcomed our daughter Charlotte into the world and my parents (finally) became grandparents.

Refutations of Say’s Law and Dynamics of a Monetary Economy of Production Edouard Cottin-Euziol1 Abstract: In a monetary economy of production, Say’s law is invalid for several reasons. On the basis of some of these refutations (Schmitt, 1984; Renaud, 2000), it is possible to state that the revenues generated by the production process are structurally lower than the supply price of production. We study here the dynamics of such an economy and obtain two main results. First, the long- term debt level of this economy has to increase during a growth phase to enable demand to grow at the same pace as supply. Secondly, due to the repayment of this debt, the gap between supply and net revenues generated by the production process widens along a growth phase.
