A key player in the medieval money game: Clarence the King. Clarence is the government regulator. Because Fred practices fractional-reserve banking like modern banks, he has a problem: - Several knights redeem their gold receipts at the same time, but Fred does not have sufficient reserves.
- King Clarence provides Fred with enough gold to satisfy the knights.
- If Fred's banking operation ceases to exist, economic prosperity is also in jeopardy.
- King Clarence decides to watch Fred to make sure that he keeps enough gold in reserve to avoid similar problems.
This is how King Clarence sort of 'discovers' the regulatory function of the modern banking system.

Marginal benefit of search decreases with an increase in search effort and is represented by the marginal benefit of search curve. This is one half of the efficient information search decision. The other is marginal cost of search.
