Money and Banking: An Intermediate Market-Based Approach is a six-chapter book published by Business Expert Press in 2017 and written by William D. Gerdes, Professor of Economics at Clarke University. This book is intended to give students a broad understanding of money and how the money we use today differs from money used in the past and money discovered in isolated subcultures. It examines money as a medium of exchange, a fundamental ingredient in credit markets, and an instrument of monetary policy. In Chapter 1, the author discusses exchanges and the transaction costs associated with them. He states the definition of money as a medium of exchange but adds that it also serves as a store of value, unit of account, and standard of deferred payment. Gerdes describe money as portable, divisible, durable, and made from objects that are relatively scarce. He also discusses the three types of monetary systems: commodity, fiduciary, and fiat. He then provides ways to calculate the value of money.

In Chapter 2, Gerdes discuss ways to determine the relationship between money and economic activity. He highlights Fisher's equation, MV=Py, to show that the money supply and the price of goods are directly related and that the production of goods and services and price of goods are indirectly related. He also uses this equation of exchange to analyze the relationship between money and the economy, highlighting what this relationship can tell us about inflation, real GDP, and the long-run purchasing power of money. He then discusses a version of the equation that expresses the same relationships between variables but in terms of growth rates: dM/M + dV/V = dP/P + dy/y

In Chapter 3, Gerdes discusses the relationship between the interest rate and three intertemporal economic relationships: the marginal productivity of capital, the price of credit, and the marginal rate of time preference. He provides graphs to show how shifts in the supply and demand of loanable funds affect the interest rate and differentiate between real and nominal interest rates, providing thorough definitions of each.

He outlines the money supply model (M = B (m)), which is used to examine factors that determine the total quantity of money in an economy. Gerdes then discusses four general instruments of monetary policy: open market operations, discount window/discount rate, reserve ratio requirements, and interest payments on bank reserves. He also discusses systems in which a central bank directs credit to specific markets using selective credit controls.

The chapter also discusses discretionary monetary policy and its transmission mechanisms and targets. Gerdes then outlines the Federal Reserve's response to the Great Recession of 2008-2009, highlighting the unprecedented nature of this monetary policy.

He discusses Milton Friedman's critique that the use of discretionary monetary policy has resulted in increased economic instability. He applies Friedman's growth model to simulate what would've happened had the Federal Reserve followed Friedman's rule. Gerdes then turns to examining interest rate targeting and problems the Fed encounters when using this method. He also discusses how the rational expectations theory offers a critique of monetary policy. Finally, he turns to the Austrian critique of monetary policy.
