}}{{Quote|quote="I would define the stock of money as including currency outside commercial banks plus all deposits of commercial banks. I would specify that the Reserve System shall see to it that the total stock of money so defined rises month by month, and indeed, so far as possible, day by day, at an annual rate of X per cent, where X is some number between 3 and 5. The precise definition of money adopted, or the precise rate of growth chosen, makes far less difference than the definite choice of a particular definition and a particular rate of growth."|speaker=[[File:Friedman.png]] [[Chicago School|Milton Friedman]]}}
'''Monetarism''' is an economically [[File:Cap.png]] [[Capitalism|right]] ideology, whose general economic theory was created by [[File:Friedman.png]] [[Chicago School|Milton Friedman]] to cure inflation. He believes that the government's primary role in the economy should be monetary policy with the goal of keeping inflation under control. Specifically, he thinks that there should be a very low inflation rate (1%-3%), and he wants this to be as stable as possible, since it being stable eliminates the market distortion both non-stable inflation/deflation brings. In modern times, several Monetary Authorities, notably Former Federal Reserve Chair and Nobel Prize winner Ben Bernanke, have been monetarists. Monetarist policies were used by Bernanke during the 2008 Great Recession with expansion of QE (Quantitative Easing) and the overall expansion of Money Supply.
