重新反思芝加哥学派货币传统的历史争议问题——对弗里德曼版本芝加哥口述传统的一种辩护

Reflection on the Historic Controversy of Monetary Tradition of the Chicago School—An Argue in Defense of the Oral Tradition of Friedman's Edition

弗里德曼将其对货币数量论的经典性复述视为当时芝加哥被遗忘的"口述传统"的爆发,这一观点遭到帕廷金的强烈攻击。帕廷金对弗里德曼的批评后来得到哈里.约翰逊和萨缪尔森的进一步强化,这似乎使弗里德曼的"学术欺诈"成为事实。然而,将早期芝加哥学派的货币思想与弗里德曼观点进行本质上的衔接后,就会发现帕廷金批评事实上是对真实芝加哥货币传统的重大误解与遗漏。

Friedman regarded his classic restatement of the quantity theory of money as the outbreak of the forgotten ＂oral tradition＂ in Chicago at that time,which was strongly attacked by Patinkin.Patinkin＇s criticism was further strengthened by Harry Johnson and Samuelson,which seemed to make Friedman＇s ＂academic fraud＂ become the reality.However,while connecting the monetary thought of early Chicago School with Friedman＇s views,we find out that Patinkin＇s criticism is actually a great misunderstanding and missing of the real monetary tradition of Chicago.
