Abstract

Following the general approach of this book, we explain the price of securities (in the broad sense, including capital stock) by the actions of brokers at the exchange and the interest rates by decisions of banks concerning the conditions of their loans. As to the price of securities, we already considered the offer and demand of securities in case of a household in some detail (see section 1.25). This approach is quite general and can be extended to any individual or institution. Thus we do not repeat it here. But the fixing of rates by the brokers is only dealt with in a short digression (section 1.26 in) which covers only the 2-person case.
