Abstract

This is an introduction to money and the workings of the financial system. The creation of money is discussed in detail in Chapter 1. Chapter 2 explains how international payments can add to money creation but also generate a new type of money, usually called Eurodollars. Basic securities are defined and characterized in Chapter 3, namely bills, bonds and shares, but basic derivatives, like futures, swaps, and options, are also discussed. Chapter 4 deals with pricing by banks when extending loans, but also with price formation in markets for securities. Chapter 5 surveys possible threats to the financial system and discusses three different approaches to the problem of stabilizing it, namely crisis management, regulation, and structural reforms.
