Covering the same ground


Nick Rowe says:

if you don't start with money, monetary exchange, and AD and AS, you are doing macro wrong.

I think Nick is right. I often say:

The economy is transaction.

To my mind we're covering exactly the same ground.

As an afterthought I'll repeat what Nick said

if you don't start with money, monetary exchange, and AD and AS, you are doing macro wrong.

and I'll say: Yeah, that's why this is not even wrong not even economics.

    "An economy is simply the sum of the transactions that make it up. A transaction is a simple thing. Because there are a lot of them, the economy looks more complex than it really is."
