The AMS is similar to "MZM Percentage change from same period last year", shown below in red, and compared to Shostak's chart: economagic.com home.pacbell.net This is not the money supply. The money supply is not declining. The decline shown in red is the change in the rate at which the money supply increases. This change in velocity is very predictive of recessions. Why?
