This book examines the relation between growth and inflation, saving and investment in developing and developed countries. The exponent of monetary economics favours that much investment through inflationary finance to promote economic growth. Keynes supported more investment through inflationary finance to maximize the output and employment. With the help of deficit financing in a less developed countries may be in a position to invest that what saves and the paucity of financial resources may be overcome. In the growth process, inflationary finance occurs income inflow, but the propensity to consume is high, thus voluntary savings are at a very low level. If the investment is tied to the current level of voluntary savings, growth of real income will be rotated. Savings will remain low and so will investment. Inflationary finance is thus seen as a way of breaking the deadlock of forced saving. (jacket)
