Monetary Policy, Inflation, and the Business Cycle: An Introduction to the New Keynesian Framework
$50.00
Nice overview of the new keynesian paradigm. Too bad the books only concentrates on monetary economics and fiscal policy is not analyzed in detail.

A Primer on Money, Banking, and Gold (Peter L. Bernstein's Finance Classics)
$19.95
I took a couple of economics courses, but was never sure that I got the basics of monetary policies right. This book did what all those intersecting IS-LM lines and pages of mathematical calculations did not - it explained me what money is, how it is 'created', how gold-bond-currency are all interlinked in a larger monetary system, how banks play a role in mapping the course of economic growth and inflation. The book is an easy read, with lots of simple and historical examples. Now I think I can make more sense of the WSJ articles and CNBC commentaries. Highly recommend it if you want a solid primer on money and banking systems.
