Resumo
O artigo retoma a contribuição de Richard Cantillon à ciência econômica no século XVIII. Apesar de distante no tempo, o arcabouço analítico do autor proporciona reflexões importantes acerca dos fenômenos monetários contemporâneos. Um dos elementos mais significativos é a consideração do ponto de injeção da moeda na economia, permitindo uma compreensão minimamente adequada da relação entre os chamados lados monetário e real da economia. Cantillon já fazia, portanto, uma crítica ao postulado quantitativista, o qual estabelecia uma relação de proporcionalidade entre moeda e preços. Como consequência de sua análise, fica claro que o aumento da quantidade de moeda gera efeitos reais duradouros na economia.
