The document summarizes the quantity theory of money (QTM), which states that increases in the money supply directly cause inflation. The QTM is expressed by the Fisher equation as MV=PT, where M is the money supply, V is velocity, P is price level, and T is transactions. The QTM assumes V and T are constant, though these assumptions have been criticized. The theory formed the basis for monetarism and was popular in the 1980s but faced criticisms over strictly controlling money supply.

Macroeconomics is the branch of economics that deals with the structure, performance, behavior, and decision-making of the whole, or aggregate, economy. The two main areas of macroeconomic research are long-term economic growth and shorter-term business cycles.
This paper will show the endogenous channel of monetary policy under a Sraffian
context. That is, assuming a distributive variable as exogenous. In this case we say that
the interest rate is determined by constitutional features and is set exogenously by the
central bank to the level that it wants.
In this scheme, banks have a central role. The possibility of extending credit without
the need for prior deposits, makes them a key driver of economic growth. Since the
loan amount is determined by the demand for credit rather than deposits, the concept
of effective demand cannot be dissociated from the analysis.
The implications of monetary and fiscal policy should also not be ignored.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and Sales
The concept of the quantity theory of money
1. The concept of the quantity theory of money (QTM) began in the 16th century. As gold and silver inflows
from the Americas into Europe were being minted into coins, there was a resulting rise in inflation. This
led economist Henry Thornton in 1802 to assume that more money equals more inflation and that an
increase in money supply does not necessarily mean an increase in economic output. Here we look at
the assumptions and calculations underlying the QTM, as well as its relationship to monetarism and
ways the theory has been challenged.
QTM in a Nutshell
The quantity theory of money states that there is a direct relationship between the quantity of money in
an economy and the level of prices of goods and services sold. According to QTM, if the amount of
money in an economy doubles, price levels also double, causing inflation (the percentage rate at which
the level of prices is rising in an economy). The consumer therefore pays twice as much for the same
amount of the good or service.
Another way to understand this theory is to recognize that money is like any other commodity:
increases in its supply decrease marginal value (the buying capacity of one unit of currency). So an
increase in money supply causes prices to rise (inflation) as they compensate for the decrease in
money’s marginal value.
The Theory’s Calculations
In its simplest form, the theory is expressed as:
MV = PT (the Fisher Equation)
Each variable denotes the following:
M = Money Supply
V = Velocity of Circulation (the number of times money changes hands)
P = Average Price Level
T = Volume of Transactions of Goods and Services
2. The original theory was considered orthodox among 17th century classical economists and was
overhauled by 20th-century economists Irving Fisher, who formulated the above equation, and Milton
Friedman. (For more on this important economist, see Free Market Maven: Milton Friedman.)
It is built on the principle of "equation of exchange":
Amount of Money x Velocity of Circulation = Total Spending
Thus if an economy has US$3, and those $3 were spent five times in a month, total spending for the
month would be $15.
QTM Assumptions
QTM adds assumptions to the logic of the equation of exchange. In its most basic form, the theory
assumes that V (velocity of circulation) and T (volume of transactions) are constant in the short term.
These assumptions, however, have been criticized, particularly the assumption that V is constant. The
arguments point out that the velocity of circulation depends on consumer and business spending
impulses, which cannot be constant.
The theory also assumes that the quantity of money, which is determined by outside forces, is the main
influence of economic activity in a society. A change in money supply results in changes in price levels
and/or a change in supply of goods and services. It is primarily these changes in money stock that cause
a change in spending. And the velocity of circulation depends not on the amount of money available or
on the current price level but on changes in price levels.
Finally, the number of transactions (T) is determined by labor, capital, natural resources (i.e. the factors
of production), knowledge and organization. The theory assumes an economy in equilibrium and at full
employment.
Essentially, the theory’s assumptions imply that the value of money is determined by the amount of
money available in an economy. An increase in money supply results in a decrease in the value of money
because an increase in money supply causes a rise in inflation. As inflation rises, the purchasing power,
3. or the value of money, decreases. It therefore will cost more to buy the same quantity of goods or
services.
Money Supply, Inflation and Monetarism
As QTM says that quantity of money determines the value of money, it forms the cornerstone of
monetarism. (For more insight, see Monetarism: Printing Mone To Control Inflation.)
Monetarists say that a rapid increase in money supply leads to a rapid increase in inflation. Money
growth that surpasses the growth of economic output results in inflation as there is too much money
behind too little production of goods and services. In order to curb inflation, money growth must fall
below growth in economic output.
This premise leads to how monetary policy is administered. Monetarists believe that money supply
should be kept within an acceptable bandwidth so that levels of inflation can be controlled. Thus, for the
near term, most monetarists agree that an increase in money supply can offer a quick-fix boost to a
staggering economy in need of increased production. In the long term, however, the effects of monetary
policy are still blurry.
Less orthodox monetarists, on the other hand, hold that an expanded money supply will not have any
effect on real economic activity (production, employment levels, spending and so forth). But for most
monetarists any anti-inflationary policy will stem from the basic concept that there should be a gradual
reduction in the money supply. Monetarists believe that instead of governments continually adjusting
economic policies (i.e. government spending and taxes), it is better to let non-inflationary policies (i.e.
gradual reduction of money supply) lead an economy to full employment.
QTM Re-Experienced
John Maynard Keynes challenged the theory in the 1930s, saying that increases in money supply lead to
a decrease in the velocity of circulation and that real income, the flow of money to the factors of
production, increased. Therefore, velocity could change in response to changes in money supply. It was
conceded by many economists after him that Keynes’ idea was accurate.
QTM, as it is rooted in monetarism, was very popular in the 1980s among some major economies such
as the United States and Great Britain under Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher respectively. At the
4. time, leaders tried to apply the principles of the theory to economies where money growth targets were
set. However, as time went on, many accepted that strict adherence to a controlled money supply was
not necessarily the cure-all for economic malaise.
Criticisms
John Maynard Keynes criticized the quantity theory of money in The General Theory of Employment,
Interest and Money. Keynes had originally been a proponent of the theory, but he presented an
alternative in the General Theory. Keynes argued that price level was not strictly determined by money
supply. Changes in the money supply could have effects on real variables like output.[1]
Ludwig von Mises agreed that there was a core of truth in the Quantity Theory, but criticized its focus on
the supply of money without adequately explaining the demand for money. He said the theory "fails to
explain the mechanism of variations in the value of money".[23]
