Money, Banking, Financial Markets & Institutions

Examine the globalization of today's financial markets and explore how central banks have changed monetary policy because of the Great Recession. Study how technology is disrupting financial markets and join the debate over who protects consumers in financial markets. Rather than focusing on memorizing equations; moving lines on graphs; or reading long, dry chapters, Brandl's MONEY, BANKING, FINANCIAL MARKETS AND INSTITUTIONS, 2E brings important financial concepts to life in a concise, reader-oriented approach. You clearly see the connections between the concepts you are learning and the macroeconomics you've already mastered as you examine today's financial entities in detail, using the recent economic crisis as a backdrop. This inviting book reads almost as a conversation that encourages you to discuss and debate these important concepts with friends, colleagues, and even future or current employers. Learn the concepts behind money, banking, and financial markets - and more importantly, learn to connect those concepts to happenings in the world today.Important Notice: Media content referenced within the product description or the product text may not be available in the ebook version.
