| Abstract: | The concern of Lionel Robbins was the economic science methodology. When discussing the relationship (here as: r-ship/r-ships) btw. theory and 'reality', two of the examples of inappropriate r-ships were taken from monetary (here as: mon.) economics. Among the worst failings are: 1. IS/LM: whereby the mon. authorities set the mon. base (as: m-b.), and the interest rate is market determined, 2. the m-b. multiplier of bank deposits, and the role of reserve ratios, 3. the current three-equation neoclassical consensus, assuming perfect creditworthiness, and thus no need for banks, 4. the analysis of the evolution of money. |
