El dinero en la historia del pensamiento económico: la teoría monetaria postkeynesiana y su confrontación con la ortodoxia

Abstract

Disputes over certain aspects of money, as its neutrality and the endogenous or exogenous nature of the money supply, have been ongoing between the various schools of thought and authors, its origin probably being at the time of development of scholastic thought. In this paper we intend, firstly, to make a chronological and historical overview about money, with the objective of highlighting the monetary developments of the orthodox macroeconomics, as well as the alternative approaches against this dominant thought. Finally, we try to value the post-Keynesian monetary developments, which are integrated into what is called “Monetary Economy of Production”, confronting them with the so-called New Neoclassical Synthesis.
