Listen to a podcast here of Robert discussing his textbook and gain perspective on why he wrote a Money and Banking text.
The financial crisis of 2007-8 has already revolutionized institutions, markets, and regulation. Wright and Quadrini's Money and Banking captures those revolutionary changes and packages them in a way that engages undergraduates enrolled in Money and Banking and Financial Institutions and Markets courses.
Minimal mathematics, accessible language, and a student-oriented tone ease readers into complex subjects like money, interest rates, banking, asymmetric information, financial crises and regulation, monetary policy, monetary theory, and other standard topics. Numerous short cases, called "Stop and Think" boxes, promote internalization over memorization. Exercise drills ensure basic skills competency where appropriate. Short, snappy sections that begin with a framing question enhance readability and encourage assignment completion.
Recent financial turmoil has increased student interest in the financial system but simultaneously threatens to create false impressions and negative attitudes. This up-to-date text by a dynamic, young authorial team encourages students to critique the financial system without rejecting its many positive attributes.

Robert E. Wright
Robert E. Wright is a Clinical Associate Professor of Economics at the Stern School of Business at New York University. He is the author of ten books on financial history, publishing, and the economics of construction and other lagging sectors, including most recently "One Nation Under Debt: Hamilton, Jefferson, and the History of What We Owe" (McGraw-Hill, March 2008). The current economic crisis has kept him busy - his commentary has been featured in Barron's, the Chicago Tribune, CNN, the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and the Washington Post - to name a few. Luckily for us, he is a disciplined guy and his book is still coming out on time!
Professor Wright is currently working on a Yale University Press book co-authored with Ron Michener of the University of Virginia on the monetary causes of the American Revolution and an extensive study of entrepreneurship and corporate governance in early America with Stern professor Richard E. Sylla.
Professor Wright is also a curator for the Museum of American Finance and the academic editor of Pickering and Chatto's Financial History Monograph series. He sits on the investment committee of the Business History Conference and since 2006 has been the recipient of grants from the Virginia Historical Society, the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, and the National Science Foundation.
Since 2003, Robert E. Wright has taught "Money and Power" and other courses at New York University's Stern School of Business. Before that, he taught Money and Banking at the University of Virginia.
