Hawtrey’s Philosophy: Thought and Things

Hawtrey (1879–1975) is well-known as an economist who developed a monetary theory of economic fluctuations in, e.g., Good and Bad Trade [Hawtrey 1913] and Trade and Credit [Hawtrey 1928] as well as an advocate for the so-called Treasury View—in contrast with Keynes. Furthermore, he was severely critical of Keynes as the author of the Treatise from his own theoretical stance.
