Great video. Easy understanding for learners.
One thing I want to know is that quantity of money which equals to M1 ( Cash+Demand deposits) & MS curve represents M2 (M1 + Time Deposits). Thank you.

Monetary policy tools are very important. If they are not effective, the government will be in debt or will be closed :0

[thomsonchama]

If there is a thing that made me dumb is selling and buying bonds about who is getting the money and who is giving ... Not knowing the relationship is inverse, if the FED sells a bond it means they are getting money from circulation, if they buy a bond it means they are injecting money into circulation.

Hi! Thanks for an useful lesson. May I ask what can make monetary policy less effectivenesss?

[astelija]

About the multiplier: doesnt this assume that banks always lend all the money they possibly can? But what if the banks don't find enough credit-worthy borrowers?

[giftpatchaa]

Thank you, it’s clearly explaining ever!

Very general. You should add, that first, real life money multiplier is never equal to formula values, secondly ECB and other European banks as well as other banks in the world frequently use discount rate, lombard loans rate, repo rates and overnight facilities to target inflation rather then trade on open market. Also many people with no economy education are super confused by what this words, that when central bank buys out the government bond, they just add digits to bank account...You should know its not exactly like that. Tell about Central Banks active / passive operations (just like any other normal banks). Tell about REPO auctions and take as example some european country with no EU currency or Asian economy, or Canada. Tell about Central Banks gold / currency reserves around the world. Because like this people have another 200 valuable questions.

What happens when those bonds mature? Money ends up back in the economy and causes inflation again?
