By Benjamin M. Anderson
Benjamin Anderson, American Austrian, was once between a handful of economists, led via Ludwig von Mises in his pioneering paintings The idea of cash and Credit in 1912, who got down to combine financial conception right into a common idea of value.
Anderson dedicated an important component to his nice ebook The worth of Money, released in 1917, to a refutation of the "mechanical" volume conception of money.
He argued that the explanations and results from which the information of the volume equation are developed are disaggregated and complicated; regardless of the correlation among the mixture variables of the amount equation, correlation isn't causation; causation can't be validated within the equation simply because there are not any quantitative constants in human motion (in specific, pace isn't constant); the volume conception ignores time; there is not any unambiguous technique to outline the variables within the concept: the cash inventory, speed, the volume of products, and the cost level.
Anderson additional holds that no matter what real propositions the amount thought deals can to boot be deduced from an accurate concept of worth and that many actual theories of contemporary economics (such because the legislation of call for and provide, the speculation of capitalization, and Gresham’s legislations) are inconsistent with it.
Although a few real propositions could be had from the volume concept, no longer each end derived from it's real. Anderson expended a lot attempt to illustrate that many theories developed upon it are fake.
For instance, he argued that the independence among the inventory of cash and the amount of products, assumed for the aim of attaining the belief that raises within the inventory of cash bring about proportional raises within the expense point, if carried into macroeconomics has pernicious results.

But behind this relativity, this scheme of relations between values, there lie two values which are absolute. " Values lie behind ratios of exchange, and causally determine them. The important thing for present purposes is merely to note that value is prior to exchange relations, that it is an absolute quantity, and not, as many economists have put it, purely relative.
