Monetaristid

Monetaristid is a Finnish term referring to adherents of monetarism, a school of macroeconomic thought that emphasizes the role of governments in controlling the amount of money in circulation. Monetarists believe that inflation is primarily caused by an excessive money supply and that controlling the money supply is the most effective way to stabilize the economy.

Key figures associated with monetarism include Milton Friedman. They often advocate for limited government intervention in the economy, believing that markets are generally self-regulating. Monetarists tend to favor policies such as stable growth in the money supply, deregulation, and free trade.

In Finland, the term "monetaristid" might be used to describe politicians, economists, or policy recommendations that align with these monetarist principles. This can manifest in discussions about fiscal policy, central banking, and the overall direction of economic management. Their influence can be seen in debates surrounding inflation control, the role of the central bank in managing liquidity, and the broader framework of economic policy.
