This innovative text offers an introduction to money, banking, and financial markets, with a special emphasis on the importance of confidence and trust in the macroeconomic system. It also presents the theory of endogenous money creation, in contrast to the standard money multiplier and fractional reserve explanation found in other textbooks. The U.S. economy and financial institutions are used to explain the theoretical and practical framework, with international examples weaved in throughout the text. It covers key topics including monetary policy, fiscal policy, accounting principles, credit creation, central banks, and government treasuries. Additionally, the book considers the international economy, including exchange rates, the Eurozone, Chinese monetary policy, and reserve currencies. Taking a broad look at the financial system, it also looks at banking regulation, cryptocurrencies, real estate, and the oil and gold commodity markets. Students are supported with chapter objectives, key terms, and problems. A test bank is available for instructors. This is an accessible introductory textbook for courses on money and banking, macroeconomics, monetary policy, and financial markets.

Dale K. Cline is a CPA in public practice, a CMA, a business owner, and an investor. He holds an undergraduate degree from Lenoir-Rhyne College and an MBA from Wake Forest University. While he has a wealth of business knowledge gained through his client advisory role, he learned much of what he knows about the economy through hands-on experience. Most recently, navigating his real estate investment and development business through the Great Recession provided him with unique insight into the way the banking system and the economy respond to stress. Viewing the meltdown from the dual perspectives of a CPA and a market participant prompted him to embark on a study of the lesser understood intricacies of the economy that culminated with the writing of this book.
