This course provides an easy-to-access tool to bridge the knowledge gap of understanding what banks do, what happens on financial markets, and what is needed to prevent a derailment of the financial sector. Starting in the '80s, banks have become huge financial supermarkets offering a wide range of services and products, and employees in these large banks have developed specialized expertise in the area in which they decide to make a career. This course covers topics such as money types and the role of Central Banks, different bank types and their activities, an overview of the three financial product categories to trade capital, foreign currencies, and risk, financial market products trading, exchange trading, and the root of the 2008 financial crisis. Additionally, a 20-minute entertaining video of the history of the Amsterdam Stock Exchange is included. As a bonus, students can download a free copy of the 40-page book Understand Banks and Financial Markets (normally priced at $6) at Smashwords.
