Abstract: This article examines several aspects of monetary policy. Much of the discussion involves the work of prominent economist John Maynard Keynes, who developed the concepts of thrift, spending multipliers and the marginal efficiency of capital. The history and development of some Keynesian concepts are presented. Reconciliation of monetary theories such as the real rate of interest and the concepts of endogenous money and credit creation are investigated. Contemporary debates and critiques of Keynes's work are also presented.
