macroeconomics. Journal of Post-Keynesian Economics, https://doi.org/10.1080/01603477.2026.2664429 Copy Share Abstract

With the possible exception of her work on economic methodology, the monetary economics of Victoria Chick lay at the

heart of her macroeconomics, and her general approach to economics. Chick’s monetary economics started with her

participation in the revival of monetary theory in the wake of the Radcliffe Report, which argued that liquidity rather

than money should be the central operational concept for theory and policy. When the monetary revival turned to

monetarism, Chick countered by insisting on the monetary nature of macroeconomic variables, rather than confining money

to a “monetary sector” that was added on to a “real” economy. She developed this approach by showing how

macroeconomic relations were affected by banking evolution, and later rejected the concept of monetary endogeneity based

on central bank operations in inter-bank markets. However, the critical part that she gave to monetary innovation in

Keynes’s macroeconomics is an original but controversial part of her intellectual legacy. Item Type Article Copyright
