I'm halfway through, and I'm really impressed not only by the prof's preparation but methods. Very clear.

Started this course based on your recommendation, and agree that it's very good. A lot of mysterious stuff (repo, LIBOR, fractional reserve banking) is making a lot more sense to me now.

Completely agree, most texts concentrate on teaching outdated fractional reserve based monetary systems. Fractional reserves are no longer the major constraint on an expanding/contracting money supply. This course builds up an understanding of the push/pull factors of modern finance and banking.

Great course. It deals with the actual financial plumbing and how it has evolved from simple beginnings to the current complexity.
