Abstract: The paper discusses two Post Keynesian models in a closed economy, for the credit market and the reserve market respectively. The models are grounded on the idea that (a) bank loans create deposits and (b) deposits make monetary reserves. The main differences between these monetary models are due to different assumptions about the state of expectations of agents involved in the money supply process.
