The Forerunners of "New Monetary Economics" Proposals to Stabilize the Unit of Account: Note
批判性地评估了Arthur Kitson（1917）和Henry Meulen（1934）提出的货币政策制度，指出其记账单位设想与近期新货币经济学提案不同，而Aneurin Williams（1892）和Irving Fisher（1920）的补偿美元计划才是更接近的先驱。
This paper critically evaluates the monetary policy regimes proposed by Arthur Kitson (1917) and Henry Meulen (1934). Contrary to the assertion of Tyler Cowen and Randall Kroszner (1987), the unit of account envisioned by these earlier theorists was not at all like recent proposals by proponents of the monetary economics. It is also demonstrated that the compensated dollar plans of Aneurin Williams (1892) and Irving Fisher (1920) are closer forerunners to the recent new monetary economics proposals.
