ahh one really big idea ..how bracing !!!

"Three times in the past century - before the Great Depression, before the start of Japan's lost decade, and before the Great Recession - central banks have committed a fatal error."

"... economic growth was on track and inflation low
so they concluded that the economy was in fine fettle."

"Today central banks are committing the same error
 and setting the stage for another Great Crash."

" my  book demonstrates that a the root of  all the main stream models
  is one  fatal error ...

                          a misconception of money !!!!

" a fatal error that has vitiated all of economics for nearly a century."

" first i disprove the idea of money multiplication through fractional reserve banking"

 "then taking this as my  starting point i  draw up
THE  operational measure of money  -- the OM of M --


" OM of M faithfully mirrors every turn of the economy since 1960."

" the velocity of money is stable and that the mainstream view of money as one form of wealth is erroneous."

"I completely lay   bare the errors of John Maynard Keynes, Milton Friedman
 and F von  Hayek
 all of whom have one thing in common:
 they completely disregard financial assets."
