Description
What do central bankers and macroeconomists talk about when they go for a beer? What do they watch on those flickering screens full of numbers and text? Can a mere mortal understand it? Thanks to this book, you will easily grasp how money is created and what happens to it afterward. How and why central bankers make decisions and how financial markets react to them. Whether you are interested in currency, bond, stock, or even cryptocurrency markets, a perfect understanding of monetary policy can save you a lot of money or even bring in some extra. Or maybe you just want to understand what is being discussed on television when central banks raise rates? Where did inflation come from and why are mortgages sometimes unavailable? Using current cases and the stories of the most important figures in the theory and practice of monetary policy, this book illustrates and explains why it has never been more important to understand how money works. A leading Czech expert on the topic has written a foreword for each chapter.
