  1. Your blog design is really simple so it is easy to find the notes that I want. On this post, there are something that I want to change to make it clearer.

    4 Options of Monetary Policy:
    -Reserve Requirement is the percent that is set by the FED of the minimum reserve a bank must have.
    -Discount Rate is the banks borrow money from the FED (use as the last resort)
    -Federal Fund Rate is the loan banks loan each other overnight and no one knows about this.
    -OMO (Operation Market Operation) is the buying/selling of security/bonds, done by FED. If they buy, they expand the money supply; if they sell, they shorten the money supply.

    I hope this comment help your note.

  3. Your blog is very organized, and well put together. The color scheme of your blog makes studying and reviewing the material very easy, and also blends well with the overall highlights that you have made to clarify certain points. I would add more videos and graphs, visuals basically, to tie down all your information. Examples are crucial in this unit, so I believe those should be added as well. All-in-all, very good blog!
