monetary policy 

The means by which entities, as government agencies, as the Federal Reserve, Department of the Treasury, and institutions as the central bank, control the supply of money (M1, M3). This process includes trading in foreign exchange markets.

Monetary policy can but viewed in its two forms: expansionary and contractionary. Expansionary policy increases the total money supply (liquidity) and is used to fight unemployment or recessionary pressures, mainly by lowering interest rates. Direct cash infusions to struggling private institutions or government rebates to individuals can be used as emergency measures to avoid panic runs on banks as was seen in the 1929 market crash. These measures are very dangerous and are considered highly inflationary and destabilizing to currency exchange rates. Economic theory would indicate that such uncontrolled printing of money, indicates failure of fiscal policy (which refers to government borrowing, spending, and taxation).

Contractionary policy is used to control inflation by raising interest rates. A "perfect storm" scenario would be when a government "should be" using a contractionary policy and resorts to an expansionary policy.

The world is very critical of the monetary policy of the United States and is punishing it by devaluing its currency.

Monetary Fracking

You've heard of 'hydraulic fracturing' e.g., the use of high pressure fluids into the ground to release hydrocarbons for energy use. In 2011 I coined the phrase "monetary fracking" to mean the use of massive amounts of monetary liquidity by the Federal Reserve injected deep in the bowels of our ailing economy to release the true economic engine of the American consumer. I observed the Fed printing and pumping it directly to the banking system with the hopes that the banks would lend it. But alas, our credit had been too severely damaged, our assets depleted by the financial whores of Wall Street, our savings and retirement destroyed; in effect, we were devastated and decimated So instead of "bailing out" the banks I felt that unless we bailout ourselves we will never be able to buy anything again. I pondered - how can we get the Fed to directly remunerate the millions of us directly affected by the criminal acts of the perpetrators? It would be too politically incorrect to just give money to the people - that would never fly. But how about utilizing the American way? A gigantic class action lawsuit to compensate the victims Only the Fed can create enough dollars to compensate the victims. They will print $3 trillion and distribute it through the IRS to those who can prove bankruptcy, loss of job, loss of business, loss of house, foreclosure, etc. The resulting funds in the economy will pump-prime the system to create demand and we will buy things, save, pay off debts, et al.

Monetary Fracking is where the Fed prints dollars and sends it to the IRS. The IRS checks their records to see if (1) I owe taxes and (2) if I am an alien and (3) if I was financially damaged during this Great Recession. The IRS then sends $400,000 to me by check or direct deposit. I replenish my savings and retirement accounts, payoff my house, buy a new 2014 Hyundai Sonata, re-start my business. My life is back to normal with gasoline now at $5.00 a gallon - but I don't care, I am whole again.

monetary keener 

1. A keener that does what he needs to do in order to graduate.

2. A keener motivated by monetary stimulus from mentors or family.

Steve Naylor is only taking college courses while still in high school to please his grandparents. He's such a monetary keener.

monetary lens 

Adopting a narrow perspective focused solely on the financial implications, disregarding all other aspects of the matter, including the broader impact and considerations beyond monetary gains or losses.

I admire that IIX looks at valuations through a value based lens as opposed to a monetary lens.
