Resumen

Hansen y Newman (HN) critican a Barnett y Block (2004, 2012, desde ahora BB) por defender la postura de que los descubrimientos de oro, que suponen dinero oro adicional en un mercado libre, son socialmente beneficiosos. HN, en contraposición, toman la postura de que como cualquier cantidad de dinero oro puede hacer el mismo “trabajo” monetario que cualquier otra cantidad, que estas nuevas adiciones no son socialmente beneficiosas. Más bien constituyen un fallo de mercado. No sólo resultan problemáticas las adiciones a la masa monetaria desde su perspectiva, pero también supone la consecuencia lógica de que debemos disminuir la cantidad de dinero para evitar el “fallo de mercado”, ya que desde la perspectiva del pasado, la cantidad presente de dinero fue incrementada de su nivel en su momento. Este trabajo pretende defender la perspectiva de BB frente a la de HN.
