Got a topic for our next Whiteboard video? Submit your ideas!
Help us break down complex financial topics into easy-to-understand analogies. Post a comment below with an idea for the topic of our next Whiteboard video and you could win a signed copy of Paddy Hirsch's new book "Man vs. Markets"
People who know me know I love two things: Explaining stuff to people and getting stuff for free. So it gives me great pleasure to combine these two loves by explaining to you how you how you can get something from me for free.
And that free thing is... a copy of my new book, Man vs. Markets. It explains all the basics and some of the not-so-basics about the financial system. Think of it as one of my Whiteboard videos on paper – with a fancy cover.
Post a comment and you could get free stuff
All you have to do is post a comment on this page suggesting an idea for an upcoming episode of the Whiteboard. Each week starting Friday Sept. 1 and continuing for the next few months, I’ll pick one person at random who left a comment and send them a signed copy of my book. And I’ll use your best ideas for future Whiteboard videos.
So post your comments with ideas – we need them, because without ideas, there’ll be no Whiteboards, and that could leave us all very badly needing a drink!

Hey there Paddy.
I would love to learn more about the positive & negative correlations that impact major world currencies ( AUD, EUR, GBP, CAD, USD, JPY...etc) in relation to to the movement of other capital markets instruments such as commodities, equities, or fixed income. Thanks bud.
Paddy I would like to see a whiteboard explanation of the "Federal Reserve in a nutshell", well probably not possible. so, how about:
What is the Federal Reserve and how does it work?
What banks are a part of the FR?
Now, Which banks does the U.S. borrow from?
Who are the Board of Directors and what is their association with member banks.
How are they elected and what about Presidential appointees.
What is the Reserves association with the IMF?
I think you get the picture and I am sure your white board explanation can cover all of this and more.. well maybe 2 white boards.
Regards and keep up the Good Work.
Hello .. .
I am a high school economics teacher and I use your Whiteboards in class all the time. I have many suggestions:
Is QE different that the Fed Reserve Requirement?
Does Dodd Frank replace Glass-Steagal?
Is Crowding Out still happening?
How are interest rates both a tool and a by-product of inflation?
Given their respective histories, what is the exact connection between the Treasury and the Fed?
Measurements of money - why do they pretty much only use M2 nowadays?
How do loans increase the money supply?
Is the Laffer Curve accurate?
Is the Phillips' Curve still accurate? Side question ... can you explain Stagflation?
What do the credit rating agencies really do to rate our credit?
I have a bunch more if none of these are up to the task.
Thanks
Dave Tennant
