description The work takes up a series of issues pertaining to the monetary interpretation of Friedman and Simons. The authors find that espousal of a monetary rule involves, foremost, confidence in the extrapolability of long-term statistical trends, particularly with respect to velocity.

Their contribution these authors essentially anticipates views set forth by Friedman and Simons, and already included the formulation of the monetary growth-rate rule.   JEL: B31
