Features: This textbook is specifically designed to meet the teaching needs of the professional foundational course—Monetary Banking—within vocational and technical college programs in commerce, finance, and related fields. The book is divided into 10 chapters, providing detailed elaborations on topics such as money and monetary systems, credit and interest, financial institutions, financial markets, commercial banks, central banks, money supply and equilibrium, monetary policy, international finance, and the relationship between finance and economic development. The textbook attempts to organically integrate modern monetary banking theory with China's practical applications. Addressing the common tendency of domestic comparable textbooks to emphasize theoretical content, this edition strengthens operational aspects and highlights the focus on vocational and technical education. To assist students in understanding and further reflecting on the material, each chapter begins with content previews and concludes with discussion questions and exercises. In addition to serving as a textbook for vocational and technical college programs in economics, this book is also suitable for use in management, agriculture and forestry, and other disciplines, as well as for reference by a broad range of social readers.
