Features: In the third and fourth parts of this book, a new research method for the fundamental issues of monetary theory is proposed. The purpose of this is to find a method that can not only describe the nature of static equilibrium but also the nature of disequilibrium, while also discovering the dynamic laws governing the transition of the monetary system from one equilibrium state to another. This is the main subject of the first volume of the book, "The Pure Theory of Money." In the second volume, "The Applied Theory of Money," the author attempts to combine the qualitative and quantitative methods, making the best possible estimates of the magnitude of the values discussed, primarily based on the existing facts in the United Kingdom and the United States. In this volume, the author also describes the main characteristics of the modern monetary and banking system and discusses the methods and objectives of monetary management in the practical field.
