Money, Banking, and the Financial System

Make the link between theory and real-world easier for students with the most up-to-date Money and Banking text on the market Today!  Hubbard/O'Brien's new text presents Money, Banking, and the Financial System in the context of contemporary events, policy, and business with an integrated explanation of today’s financial crisis. 

 

Money is one of the essential elements of civilization, as fundamental as the wheel and the written word. It is also one of the most mysterious things we deal with. It is almost magical that a piece of paper can be exchanged for valuable goods. Why is money valuable? What makes  money? Where does it come from? Who makes it? What do banks have to do with money?

 

we will explore these and other questions. Putting money in an historical context, we will see what money has been, and what it is today. Along the way we will see how different forms of money evolved, how banks came about and what role they play in the monetary system, and how the modern central bank has become the ring leader of that system. And we look at why many major banks failed in 2008 and had to be merged with stronger banks.
