Abstract

This article presents a review of literature and debates on quantity equations
and monetary theory. It follows the outlines of a general critique on the concept of velocity
of circulation of money and the inconsistency of the neoclassical assumptions. And it
ends up by concluding that quantity equations are not important to the development of a
monetary theory.
