An introduction to the financial system, which precedes courses in finance and economics. It is designed for three groups of graduate students: those who have not had such an introductory course, those who had such a course several years ago and need a review and for those who have had such a course but for one reason or another did not learn the material well enough. Concepts such as financial intermediation, money, credit, interest rates, valuation are covered in depth. Cash and derivative markets as well as domestic and international finance are grist for our mill. The roll of the monetary authority (Federal Reserve) and its relationship to the financial system is covered. Readings written by the author are also supplied to see how problems arise in the system that can seriously impair that system from optimized economic welfare.
