Includes bibliographical footnotes.

This book, as the title suggests, consists of readings in the interconnected areas of monetary theory and stabilization policy. Included are about fifty selections divided into five chapters. The articles in the first chapter deal with aspects of
monetary theory, including inflation theory and policy. The second chapter consists of one article on banking competition and three on the Gurley-Shaw thesis. The third chapter treats some aspects of the organization of the Federal Reserve System and the policy instruments available to it. The fourth chapter (slightly over one third of the book) examines domestic stabilization policy, and the last deals with selected subjects in international finance, including the problems presented by the
persistent U.S. balance of payments deficit as well as the appropriate mix of stabilization policies in an open economy.
