Monetary Finance is the latest textbook on monetary banking. This book closely combines the economic realities of the United States and other countries, with the five core principles of finance as the main thread. It introduces the basic knowledge and operating rules of monetary banking and financial markets in a simple and profound manner, and also provides a comprehensive and in-depth discussion on the design and implementation of monetary policy and the latest development of monetary economics. The characteristic of monetary finance is to focus on introducing the basic operating laws of the financial system, rather than analyzing its current structure and rules. This method helps students understand the constantly changing financial system.
