Quantity theory of credit

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Self promotion by author of an unnotable theory. Citations that mention the theory by name are almost all by the author in unreviewed conference papers. No evidence that any peer-reviewed article has taken note of the theory. The article proclaims the theory's mention in i) a master's dissertation, ii) a presentation at a CEPR conference.

Note that a Google News search, Google Scholar search, Google Book search, and JSTOR search, for "'Quantity theory of credit' werner", bring up nothing except what is written by the author himself. --LK (talk) 10:51, 6 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete: There was some media coverage of the book release (says Google). However, that coverage was fairly short-lived, and in any case does not excuse the article being a pure puff piece.  Burn it.  Burn it with fire. Kerfuffler (talk) 12:36, 6 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Merge into quantity theory of money of which this is a refinement or development. Warden (talk) 13:01, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
