endogenous money and inflation- again



Hello Everyone

I have a question again, though I have asked you on the relation between endogenous money and inflation.
In the mainstream view, money is regarded only as a transaction and portfolio assets, and its quantity is fixed. So the
prices is derived from the following equation, if the liquidity function is known;

P=M/L(r, L).

Almost Post-Keynesian appear, however, to disagree with this.At first, Post-Keynesian never regard the quantity of money
as fixed. Second is that because money isn't regarded just as transaction and portfolio assets, almost Post-Keynesian
don't emphasize liquidity function so much. So the price level can't derived from this equation from the perspective of
Post-Keynesian.

Then Moore said as follows in the previous mail.

Are there models that what Moore said is formulated mathematically? What is the equation to determine the price levels?
I would like to imagine the economic system which Moore described more concretely.

Best Wishes
