Product Description
The Economics of Money, Banking, and Financial Markets set the standard for money and banking courses when it published in its first edition, and it continues to be the worldwide market leader. The historic economic events and financial crises of late 2008 have changed the entire landscape of money and banking. Having just served as Governor of the Federal Reserve, only Mishkin has the unique insider's perspective needed to present the current state of money and banking and explain the latest debates and issues for today’s readers. For professors who teach with less emphasis on monetary theory and prefer to focus more time on financial institutions, the Business School Edition is the ideal alternative.

Introduction: Why Study Money, Banking, and Financial Markets?; An Overview of the Financial System; What Is Money? Financial Markets: Understanding Interest Rates; The Behavior of Interest Rates; The Risk and Term Structure of Interest Rates; The Stock Market, the Theory of Rational Expectations, and the Efficient Market Hypothesis. Financial Institutions: An Economic Analysis of Financial Structure; Financial Crises and the Subprime Debacle; Banking and the Management of Financial Institutions; Economic Analysis of Financial Regulation; Banking Industry: Structure and Competition; Nonbank Finance; Financial Derivatives; Conflicts of Interest in the Financial Industry. Central Banking and the Conduct of Monetary Policy: Structure of Central Banks and the Federal Reserve System; The Money Supply Process; Tools of Monetary Policy; What Should Central Banks Do? Monetary Policy Goals, Strategy, and Tactics. International Finance and Monetary Policy: The Foreign Exchange Market; The International Financial System. Monetary Policy: The Demand for Money; Aggregate Demand and Supply Analysis; Transmission Mechanisms of Monetary Policy: The Evidence; Money and Inflation.

For all readers interested in money, banking, and financial markets.

5 out of 5 stars Outstanding presentation of topics   September 17, 1999
9 out of 11 found this review helpful

This book is being used for a Money and Banking course taught to undergraduate general business students at the University of Central Florida. The text is well-organized, concise, and informative. There are many tables and charts that summarize and/or reinforce the text. Supplemental materials, especially the study guide, are particularly helpful. The math is minimal and relies on, at most, basic algebra -something that, unfortunately, is beyond the capability of many university students these days.

All that being said, the text is still way above the heads of most UCF students. But then again, they almost never study.


5 out of 5 stars Wonderful and accessible book   November 22, 2002
10 out of 13 found this review helpful

Highly recommended for both dummies and people familiar with economics. The author presents an unbiased, unpartisan, clear introduction to numerous aspects of monetary policy, financial institutions, and financial markets. Along with factual material the author presents important and profound generalizations and principles.


5 out of 5 stars A Great Learning Tool   August 30, 1998

I used this book for an independent study in banking. It was wonderfully written, and very easy to read. It's definitely the class of all introductory banking texts. They even use it at Harvard.

For once, there is an economist with a passion to teach and communicate well. Although it is supposed to be an introductory text in monetary economics, I return to it again and again to check my basic understanding of this subject.


5 out of 5 stars Great Book!   November 16, 2008
