The Bank of Spain and the Commission Nacional del Mercado de Valores are determined to learn something that the Spanish economy, even domestic. We saw how they are collaborating to introduce a course on the subject in secondary education. Yesterday, the presidents of both institutions presented the Finance informative portal for all, which is intended to provide the population at least the most basic financial knowledge.
The project is part of the Financial Education Plan that the two organizations signed in 2008 and joins other outreach efforts. Perhaps he could have avoided some of the most pernicious effects of the current crisis with projects like this, although the website as well as Spanish finances, is down since yesterday evening.
Among the tools including mortgage calculators include the explanation of financial products and even a glossary for children. An example. “Saving: Do not spend all the money you have, but to save a little for later use.” It seems so easy, right?
Internet is a very powerful learning tool for anyone who is a good self-taught. In Youtube, without going any further, you can find tutorials to learn from playing the banjo to learn to dance breakdance. Finance for all continues to be an educational portal for laymen, but if we attend a lecture we summarize in less than fifteen minutes Keynes’s thinking, so we can do over the Internet. Of course, it is always preferable to have a good teacher to be able to ask, but not always possible. And Keynes is dead … or not?
