- Excellent book regardless of previous knowledge on the subject
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 ... Read More

- Loads of information, and very easy to read...
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.

- Good read
This book is laid out in a very legible format for most users. It gives a good idea to the reader of what is out there in the financial markets. Would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a flavour of things.

Chris has shown us the cards, what we need to do now is learn how to play them.

- Informative, easy to digest, and, above all, interesting!
I came across this book when I was just starting out in the City and it helped me immensely. The author's conversational tone makes for a great read, and the book really does pack everything you need to know into 224 relaxed pages. I had a muddled understanding of how everything connected in the financial market, but this book completely demystified everything. I can now converse with City types about derivatives, hedge funds and securitisation without breaking a sweat!

I would highly ... Read More
