Economics.
A theory formalised by Irving Fisher, which links the level of prices with the amount of money in circulation.
It is defined as:
P = MV / T
where
- P = price level,
- M = amount of money in circulation,
- V = velocity of circulation,
- T = volume of transactions.
Monetarists believe that it is the amount of money in circulation which has the biggest effect on price levels and inflation rates.
