Abstract

This paper tries to analyze the scope of a monetary policy in the context of
endogenous money, instability, and capital mobility. It starts with the post Keynesian critique
to the mainstream and concludes with the impotence of the central bank to reach the
stability of prices in Brazil through the use of the classical instruments on monetary policy.
