An Appeal for Better Scholarly Discourse: How Bagus and Howden Have it Wrong on Free BankingAnthony J. EvansESCP Europe; ESCP Europe - Department of Economics Steven HorwitzSt. Lawrence University April 30, 2011 Abstract: In their recent article in the Quarterly Journal of Austrian Economics, Bagus and Howden (2010) present “quibbles” with fractional reserve free banking. Or specifically, what they call “unaddressed issues” in this system, with a particular emphasis on Selgin (1988). We deem their arguments to be more substantial than “quibbles” and are part of a longstanding debate about fundamental aspects of monetary theory. We respond to their objections and attempt to specify how debate between the two sides might proceed more productively.
