A great introduction to the City August 20, 2010
M. Kharbat (Oxford, England)
This book is incredibly quick-to-read and provides a very valuable initial insight to the various operations within financial markets in general and the City of London in specific. It is aimed at beginners and non-finance graduates who are looking to move into a City-related job or perhaps at those who simply would like to enjoy a better understanding of finance-focused publications such as the Financial Times, The Economist... etc.
I'd certainly recommend it to a friend but it's a shame there's no Kindle version yet.
Really accessible intro to the Financial Services Industry February 26, 2010

Required reading for anyone starting with our business from outside Financial Services - always gets complimented. Now part of our induction programme.
Excellent if you are starting out.. December 22, 2008

I bought this book along with another book on derivatives - I'm a developer with little previous experience of the finance markets, but thought this author warranted the effort of my adding a review.
I found this book really useful to get an overview of what happens in the city (and why). Now I can move on to other books which detail actual financial products with an understanding of the bigger picture.
What I really like about this book is the fact that the examples are simple enough to grasp the concept, and that the information given in each chapter builds on previous chapters, so you can see where a concept fits in to the 'workings' of the city.
As a developer who doesn't know the ins and outs of finance, but needs to have an overview in order to his job, this book was fantastic.
Excellent book regardless of previous knowledge on the subject September 22, 2008

I already had a good knowledge of the financial systems, but wanted a book that would provide me a complete insight into all areas of the financial world. I have read many academic style books over the years and this is by far the best.
The authors style is clear and very easy to read. He explains things in a very simple way to digest and understand without dumbing down content.
Overall a fantastic easy to read guide to the intricacies of the financial city and the types of people and businesses that operate within it.
Loads of information, and very easy to read... August 27, 2008

I now know a lot more about the workings of the City, including how banks really work. This book has also helped me to understand a lot of the jargon in the Financial Times. It's a very enjoyable read - the author uses simple analogies to explain some of the concepts, making it a lot quicker to learn them than from a textbook.
