Are there any good videos that can help me learn about money, banking, and financial markets?

I'm taking a class called Money and Banking (it's a 200 level class) and I really enjoy it. The problem is the teacher doesn't lecture a lot and I'm really bad at sitting down and reading. Please don't think I'm a lazy student, but sitting down and reading isn't my learning style. I'm using this book, and it's really good. I just have such a difficult time forcing my way through.

I've been using the Khan Academy, but I was curious if there were any other good resources. Academic Earth didn't seem to have a lot.

Nice list! I was going to recommend Khan Academy, but holy cow, this works even better!

I'll plug this site again. Not a video, but it's broken down into nice easy chunks, so you should be able to work through it. 1-5 are the important parts, which are a description of how it all works.

You could try acquiring some dex/aderall :p

I HIGHLY recommend subscribing to NPR's "Planet Money" podcasts. They have a lot of "special-interest" stories, but I have learned a TON about really simple, basic world banking patterns/information.. Plus they're so fun to listen to!

Nice. I'm guessing you aren't taking it with me since no one else in my class brings a laptop.
