About this listen
Money and finance play a deeply fundamental role in your life. Now, let an expert professor lead you in a panoramic exploration of our monetary and financial systems, their inner workings, and their crucial role and presence in your world.
As a guiding theme of these 36 content-rich lectures, you observe the ways in which economies require efficient and evolving financial institutions and markets to fulfill their potential. In building a full view of our financial system, you delve into these and other vital subjects: central banks, commercial banks, and the Federal Reserve; interest rates and interest rate policy; bonds and stock markets; and foreign exchange and international banking.
Across the arc of this lecture series, you'll tackle key topics that shed light on the functioning of our financial system as a whole. You study the critical subject of inflation and its relationship to the consumer price index and to excess money growth. You'll investigate the causes and implications of the federal deficit and the national debt. In the international arena, you'll learn about the implications of trade deficits in global economic relationships and the question of monetary policy coordination between nations, weighing the significant benefits to the global economy of cooperation between central banks.
This is a rare chance to gain a grounded understanding of our monetary and financial systems, and to grasp the vital elements of finance that directly affect our way of life, our national concerns, and your own life and future.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Useful but too American in concepts. Not practical
As I said, the explanations of the market and inflation are good, but they are aimed too much at the American market. Even for an American audience, it would be good to learn how other systems work.
Not a practical Great Course to have as audiobook, as it implies that you refer to the pdf with the graphs far too regularly.
So that aspect isn't great.

Very good but very slow reading
Very good and informative lecture from the perspective of neoliberal economics. Unfortunately it is delivered extremely slowly for my taste -I had to speed it up to 1.25-130 for a more comfortable listen. Worth a listen though, even with objections regarding its approach as it is very informative and topical.

Excellent content
The invention of money is one of mankind’s greatest and it affects our lives in every way. This lecture series provides the basic grounding and tools to think about money, know who the players are and interpret their actions. Very worthwhile.

Best course for understanding financial systems
This course does a great job in explaining how financial systems function and why we need them. It helps building good foundation for thinking critically about financial news and creates a bigger picture for making better financial decisions. The course is well structured, easy to follow in audio format and has great accompanying material. Really enjoyed it.

Huh?! What was that?! What time is it?!😴
This guy could talk a glass eye to sleep.
It's one thing to know alot about a subject. It's entirely another matter to be able to pass on the information in an engaging way.
I have to keep rewinding and playing it back because I find myself drifting off and my mind elsewhere.
I'm struggling to get through it.
