This Blog Post describes the U.S. federal reserve money system from the perspective of the Modern Monetary Theory (MMT). Therefore it presents a theory of money creation, gives simple examples how this influences the economy and the historical process of why the monetary system of the US has developed this way.

This Article divides the money in a country in Reserves created by the Central Bank, in Federal Reserve Notes as cash money and in bank-dollars which are created by the private Banks. Especially the dynamics between Reserves and bank-dollars are important to understand the functioning and issues of the US monetary system.

Die zunehmende Digitalisierung von Lernmaterialien verstärkt bereits bestehende Problemfelder: Zum einen verschlechtert sich das in den letzten Jahren ohnehin angespannte Verhältnis von geltendem Urheberrecht und alltagsdidaktischer Praxis. Die sich wandelnde Technik macht die digitale Verbreitung, Veränderung und die Wiederaufbereitung bestehender Materi- alien immer einfacher. Lehrer_innen und Schüler_innen bewegen sich damit jedoch oft in rechtlichen Graubereichen oder sogar außerhalb der Grenzen des Urheberrechtes.

Plurality in Teaching Macroeconomics
Level: leicht
Plurality in Teaching Macroeconomics
The current Great Recession, the worst crisis that capitalism has faced since the Great Depression, has failed, at least so far, to generate a change in the teaching and practice of Macroeconomics. This seems bizarre as if nothing has happened and the economists are just going about doing business as usual. In light of this, the current paper attempts to address how Macroeconomics ought to be taught to students at the advanced intermediate level, which gives them an overall perspective on the subject.
