About the Book

For courses in money and banking, or general economics.

A unified framework for understanding financial markets

Revel(TM) The Economics of Money, Banking and Financial Markets: Business School Edition, 5th Edition brings a fresh perspective to today's major questions surrounding financial policy. Presenting a morefinance-oriented approach than The Economics of Money, Banking and Financial Markets, 12 Edition (also by Mishkin), the 5th Edition is more commonly taught in business schools and/or used by economics professors wishing to put less emphasis on monetary theory in their course.

Influenced by his term as Governor of the Federal Reserve, Frederic Mishkin offers students a unique viewpoint and informed insight into the regulation and supervision of the financial system, and the internationalization of financial markets. The 5th Edition provides a unifying, analytic framework for learning that fits a wide variety of syllabi. Core economic principles and real-world examples organize students' thinking and keep them motivated. It's this knowledge of how financial markets work that can enable students to make better investment decisions, whether for themselves or for the companies they work for.
