description Contrary to some recent critiques, the General Theory of the Monetary Circuit approach must be regarded as the most general model of modern economies. On one side, it relies entirely on the anchor of last resort of the modern economy, money, without theoretically stringent assumptions preimposing a solution. On the other side, it explicitly aims at a general policy framework by addressing the question of how to establish full employment as the ultimate condition for stable growth. This article analyzes the dynamics of money creation, which allows economic agents to overcome financial constraints on expenditures. It then shows how this general model leads to a genuine full employment policy for the European Union.
