For centuries, most economists believed that the quantity theory of money correctly explains the causes of movements in the price level. Today several outstanding economists believe that the quantity theory is still the best approach to the problem. This volume is a study of the development and refinement of the quantity theory and also of the attacks to which it has been subjected." -- Introduction, page ix UR - https://archive.org/details/controversyoverq00dean ER -
