Money, Credit and Finance

Many people are skeptical towards financial institutions in the aftermath of the financial crisis. At the same time, it appears obvious that a modern economy is completely dependent on private banks, insurance companies and other financial institutions.

Under this field of study we explore the following questions:

  • What role does money play in a modern economy?
  • How can state authorities prevent another financial crisis?
  • Should the interest rate go up or down?
  • What is the relationship between share prices and risk?
  • Should bank managers be entitled to bonus reward systems?
  • Should banks be allowed to place their funds in high-risk securities?
