Milton Friedman

Should we include some more depth about Friedman's objections and his prescriptions for monetary policy? If I recall, he advocated an increase in money supply equal to the increase in GDP each year, leaving the only thing capable of causing inflation as velocity, according to MV=PY.

Good point. That paragraph certainly needs to be expanded. I had been working on an expansion of the stub on monetarism (to which you may wish to contribute) with a view to a cross-reference , but I should be grateful if you could draft a brief reference to the points that you make, and insert it in this article.
