Karl Brunner and U.K. Monetary Debate Edward Nelson* Federal Reserve Board November 19, 2018 Abstract Although he was based in the United States, leading monetarist Karl Brunner participated in debates in the United Kingdom on monetary analysis and policy from the 1960s to the 1980s. During the 1960s, his participation in the debates was limited to research papers, but in the 1970s, as monetarism attracted national attention, Brunner made contributions to U.K. media discussions. In the pre-1979 period, he was highly critical of the U.K. authorities’ nonmonetary approach to the analysis and control of inflation—an approach supported by leading U.K. Keynesians. In the early 1980s, Brunner had direct interaction with Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher on issues relating to monetary control and monetary strategy.

  • OTP Morning Brief
    22 JUNE 2021 OTP Morning Brief • Western Europe's stock markets picked up, benefiting from Christine Lagarde's words • The sentiment improved in the USA, despite Fed officials' continued hints at monetary tightening • The EUR/HUF sank near 353 yesterday, when the MNB governor's hawkish article was published. • The MNB is expected to raise interest rates today; its size may determine the HUF's exchange rate. • Most of Asia's indices headed higher today; Brent climbed to USD 75 www.otpresearch.com 1 22 JUNE 2021 Western Europe's stock exchanges shifted into higher gear on Christine Lagarde’s words Western Europe's stock markets started the week with gains: Germany's DAX jumped 1.0%, reversing Friday's fall, the UK's FTSE rose by 0.6%, and the Stoxx600 closed 0.7% higher. It was the words of Christine Lagarde, the ECB's President, that set markets in motion. Speaking at a hearing in the European Parliament, she spoke about maintaining loose monetary conditions and dispelled fears about the spill-over effects of US inflation in Europe. Cyclical sectors have risen; the winners of the day in the Stoxx600 were vehicle manufacturers, chemical, and materials stocks. Retail companies also did well: the UK-based Morrisons food chain skyrocketed 35% after rejecting a GBP 5.5bn takeover bid from Clayton, Dubilier & Rice. Their rivals also jumped: Tesco advanced 1.7%, and Sainbury’s surged 3.8%. The Stoxx600 Health Sector Index stagnated, even though CureVac plummeted more than 10% on suspicion of insider trading; last week, the biopharmaceutical's stock price of fell as clinical trials pointed to low efficacy of its covid vaccine.

  • Gladstone and the Bank of England: a Study in Mid-Victorian Finance, 1833-1866
    GLADSTONE AND THE BANK OF ENGLAND: A STUDY IN MID-VICTORIAN FINANCE, 1833-1866 Patricia Caernarv en-Smith, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2007 APPROVED: Denis Paz, Major Professor Adrian Lewis, Committee Member and Chair of the Department of History Laura Stern, Committee Member Sandra L. Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Caernarven-Smith, Patricia. Gladstone and the Bank of England: A Study in Mid- Victorian Finance, 1833-1866. Master of Arts (History), May 2007, 378 pp., 11 tables, bibliography, 275 titles. The topic of this thesis is the confrontations between William Gladstone and the Bank of England. These confrontations have remained a mystery to authors who noted them, but have generally been ignored by others. This thesis demonstrates that Gladstone’s measures taken against the Bank were reasonable, intelligent, and important for the development of nineteenth-century British government finance. To accomplish this task, this thesis refutes the opinions of three twentieth-century authors who have claimed that many of Gladstone’s measures, as well as his reading, were irrational, ridiculous, and impolitic. My primary sources include the Gladstone Diaries, with special attention to a little-used source, Volume 14, the indexes to the Diaries. The day-to-day Diaries and the indexes show how much Gladstone read about financial matters, and suggest that his actions were based to a large extent upon his reading. In addition, I have used Hansard’s Parliamentary Debates and nineteenth-century periodicals and books on banking and finance to understand the political and economic debates of the time.
