In his sec ion, I dis inguish mone a ism om quan i y and Keynesian heo ies. F iedman's quan i y heo y o 1956 is nei he Keynesian — as ha e m was unde s ood a he ime — no a classical, quan i y heo y.

In o he impo an espec s, F iedman's demand unc ion o money depa s om Keynesian heo y, as ha e m was unde s ood a he ime, in a leas h ee ways. Fi s , F iedman (1956, pp. 4, 5,10,19) di ec s a en ion away om cu - en income and owa d weal h as a de e minan o he demand o money. The concep o income ele an o his analysis is he capi alized alue o all sou ces o "consumable se ices" — su ely a long- un concep o be diss inguished om he concep o "income as i is o dina ily measu ed" (1956, p. 4).* The quan i y o eal balances ha households desi e o hold depends on weal h and income, no on cu en eceip s. Second, he way in which money a ec s economic ac i i y di e s om Keynesian analysis.
