Macro: Unit 4.1 -- Money and Financial Assets

Hey Everyone! I'm Mr. Willis, and You Will Love Economics!

In this video, I will:
- Define fiat and commodity money
- Identify the various functions of money in the everyday economy
- Analyze liquidity and the M-types of money
- Discuss the characteristics for M1, M2, and M3, and identify the liquidity levels and
functions for each "M"
- Investigate the characteristics of credit cards and must explain why they are not considered
part of the M-types of money
- Compare and contrast stocks and bonds and investigate how each play a role in the flow of
financial capital through the economy
- Explain how investors earn profits on their assets, including capital gains and dividends
earned on stocks, and the principle repaid and interest earned on bonds
