- Class Description:
- The world of banking touches everything. Nearly everyone has a relationship with a bank of some kind. Many of us today have managed to form relationships with multiple institutions...one for savings and checking, one for mortgages, another for credit cards, etc. These relationships are essential in creating growing economies. In this course, we will discuss how the banking system works. We will begin with an overview of the history of the banking system in the United States, and discuss the creation and role of the Federal Reserve. The key focus of the course is on commercial banking. We will discuss the structure of the bank's balance sheet and focus on its risks. Risk management is a key in managing a profitable institution. This discussion will also focus on changing regulations and the evolution of global banking. From this base of knowledge, we will move on to discuss other types of institutions and their role in the economy and their societal benefits. These will be compared/contrasted with the role of the commercial bank.
