Improvement necessary[edit]
Irrespective of whether or not the loanable funds doctrine is correct, it deserves a decent description. I would like to improve this article because it does not contain original references and contradicts history of economic thought: The first reference is completely unrelated to the subject matter, the third reference is a red link, and the other two point to basic textbooks which mention loanable funds in passing.--Herbert81 (talk) 16:56, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
Done.--Herbert81 (talk) 08:17, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
Confusion of Terms[edit]
In the scholarly literature, the term loanable funds theory is consistently used for a theory that included bank credit (or money) creation in the equilibrium. A difficult problem of the article is that many bloggers equate this theory with classical interest theory. To take account of this ambiguous use, I have added a section which makes the problem explicit.--Herbert81 (talk) 08:10, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
I found loanable funds also in a textbook, although not in connection with "theory". Will change the section a bit.--130.75.236.27 (talk) 10:09, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
