A key challenge for central banks is understanding money demand, or the optimal amount of money necessary for an economy to operate efficiently. This presentation introduces the topic in a non-technical way, using the U.S. as a case study. Along the way, the presentation also explores the nature of money and provides a brief overview of the history of central banking.
