PURPOSE AND PERSPECTIVE OF THE CHAPTER
This chapter aims to ignite students’ interest in money, banking, and financial markets

future. The chapter introduces the financial system’s core elements—money and
financial assets, markets, central banks, and banking institutions—as foundations for
exploring their real-world significance and ongoing controversies.
