ECONOMICS 149 2a. MONEY AND BANKING.—In this course a study of the history and functions of money is followed by a critical study of the monetary and banking history of the United States and of such- topics as the theory of prices, credit, government paper, etc. The method pursued is that of Economics 2, supplemented by lectures.
