In an article published in September 1970, Machlup quite vehemently attacked much of the established thinking on this subject. The present paper argues that the analogy of a largely self-contained commercial banking system, which seems to lie at the basis of Machlup’s conceptual apparatus and analytical procedures, misses some of the most essential features of the Euro-dollar market. The author shows how the model of endogenous credit creation in a relatively closed national banking system must be modified in order to arrive at a more realistic appraisal  of the Euro-dollar market’s credit-creating potential.</p><p class="FreeForm"> </p><p class="FreeForm">JEL: E44, E51, F30, G21</p>}, number={98}, journal={PSL Quarterly Review}, author={MAYER, H.}, year={2014}, month={Oct.} }
