The treatment of monetarism

In this draft I have dismissed the simplistic version of monetarism without coming to a conclusion about the validity of the more sophisticated version employed by monetary economists. This avoids unnecessary controversy. To my mind the matter is, in any case, not worth pursuing. Monetarism was abandoned because monetary control was found impracticable, not because its theoretical grounding was found wanting. I plan to bring that out in the section on the management of the economy.
