The video introduces the types of money. We have 3 types of moneys, commodity, representative and fiat money. Commodity money is the first type of money being used, it can be think of as a fair trade, depend on how both parties set the value, say a cow for a bag of rice, etc. Representative money is the type of currency where we use a metal as a value to trade other goods, for example: gold, silver, bronze. This type of money is not used anymore because of the flexibility in prices of metal, and as the price of metal changes, it will affect the currency of that country. Fiat money is what most countries use today, it is money and has value because the government say so, it is stable since the govt has control over it.

The video explains the supply and demand of money on the Money Market graph. The concept is the same as supply and demand concept, the demand for money will always downward sloping and is affected by the interest rate. Supply for money in the other hand is vertical because it doesn't vary based on the interest rates because it's set and fixed by the Fed. During a recession, the Fed increase the supply of money to remain the interest rate and increase the demand for money.

The video  explains the loanable fund market on graph, it is the money available in banking system for people to borrow. The demand for loanable fund is downward sloping as all the supply demand concepts. The supply for loanable funds depend on the savings, the more money saved, the more money bank have to make loans. It's a leakage in income but it is positive for supply of loanable funds when people tend to save more.

The video discussed about the money creating process. Banks make money by loaning money out. When a person deposit a check in to a bank, the bank will keep a certain amount as the reserve the will loan the excess reserves out. The total amount of loan created is through a multiplying expansion. Reserve Ratio is the percentage of banks total requirements. The process of the multiple deposits is to add up all the potential loans.

The video shows the connection between the loanable fund market, money market and the AD-AS graph together. In the money market graph, when the demand for money increase (shift to right), the interest rate increase. When that happens, in the loanable fund, the available money is reduced. That makes the AD increases in AD-AS increase, hence increase the nation's GDP. The fisher effect say the increase in interest rate will increase the inflation. it is a direct relationship.
