Monetary policy before and after the crisis: what should we be teaching undergraduates?
by Louis-Philippe Rochon
International Journal of Pluralism and Economics Education (IJPEE), Vol. 3, No. 3, 2012

Abstract: The economic crisis has seen central banks turn to some rather innovative practices in order to deal with the great recession. In particular, the Federal Reserve in the USA has made considerable use of what has been called 'quantitative easing'. This practice marked a great departure from standard or textbook treatments of monetary policy, whether neoclassical or in its new consensus form. Yet, for post-Keynesian economists, quantitative easing is a practice fully consistent with the general conduct of monetary policy. The paper argues that the economics profession at large has been teaching the wrong theory of money.
