Recall now the crude Quantity Theory, which held that prices must always be proportional to the amount of money-so that doubling M [the Money supply] must exactly double P [the price level]. For many situations in the real word-with its sticky prices, booms, recessions, and thousands of changes always going on to confound the experiment-we saw that the crude Quantity Theory was not a good predicting device.... the crude Quantity Theory... has a degree of predictive value during galloping inflations and over certain long time intervals. 1, record 1, English, - crude%20Quantity%20Theory
