Unlike other Money and Banking texts, where the discussion of the macroeconomy is left to the end in a confusing blur of IS-LM and AS-AD models, Brandl’s MONEY, BANKING, FINANCIAL MARKETS AND INSTITUTIONS examines the macroeconomy early. The author does so in a clear concise manner using only the AS-AD framework. With the recent economic crisis as a backdrop, the book demonstrates links between the macroeconomic course work that students have just completed and your money and banking course. While other similar books gloss over important topics, such as money markets and investments, this text examines these markets and entities using an interesting, thought-provoking approach. The author goes beyond merely describing these market and institutions to bring these concepts to life by examining the economic foundations of these markets and the controversies within them.

  • BOOK OFFERS APPROACHABLE, STUDENT-ORIENTED WRITING STYLE. This engaging book reads much more like a conversation than a lecture. The author presents material in a unique way to foster discussion, contemplation and debate as opposed to simple memorization and regurgitation.
  • CONCEPT CLIPS ANIMATE KEY PRINCIPLES FOR CLARIFICATION. Short, fast paced, entertaining animations highlight important concepts and ensure retention.
  • WHITEBOARD EXPLANATIONS CLARIFY CRITICAL CONCEPTS. These fast-paced explanations of equations give students clarification that they can view repeatedly.
