A modern economy cannot function without money. But what
actually is money, how is it created, and how is it put
into circulation? Why is stable money so important and
what role does the central bank play in this regard?
Answers to these questions and many more can be found in
this school book. It provides detailed information on
cash, book money and banks, the euro and the Eurosystem,
the monetary and financial system, and monetary policy of
the euro area.
This school book is suitable for classroom use at the
upper secondary level, as basic information at the lower
secondary level, and as a reference work for anyone else
keen on learning more. For each chapter lesson templates
are available.
The school book is provided by the Bundesbank free of
charge. It can be ordered as a single copy or as a class
set via our
order portal.
