Monetary Trends in the United States and the United Kingdom: Their Relations to Income, Prices, and Interest Rates

By Milton Friedman and Anna J. Schwartz

The special task of this book is to present a statistical and theoretical analysis of the relation between the quantity of money and other key economic magnitudes over periods longer than those dominated by cyclical fluctuations-hence the term trends in the title. This book is not restricted to the United States but includes comparable data for the United Kingdom.
