The other view on monetary policy is the classical view as redefine by Milton Friedman. According to this view, monetary policy cannot-be used, to achieve a legal unemployment which is lower than the natural rate of unemployment.

policy, the monetarists recommend that control of money supply should the major concern of the monetary authorities.
The Keynesian view says since inflation is a sign of
Economic over heating and rise in interest rate will tend to cool it down by checking investment and thence overall demand conversely during the period of recession economic activities could be stimulated by lowering the interest rates.
