About this listen
The definitive guide to why different financial markets exist and how they operate.
This edition brings the listener right up to speed with the latest developments in financial instruments and provides a clear and incisive guide to this complex world that even those who work in it often find hard to understand. With chapters on the markets that deal with money, foreign exchange, equities, bonds, commodities, financial futures, options and other derivatives, it looks at why these markets exist, how they work and who trades in them and it gives a run-down of the factors that affect prices and rates.
Business history is littered with disasters that occurred because people involved their firms in financial markets they didn't properly understand. Listen to this book and you and your company won't be new additions to this list.
A fabulous source of reference for anyone wishing to understand financial markets - there is no better guide.

A dense, comprehensive textbook.
This is one of those "does what it says on the cover" books. It's an educational textbook, consisting of a series of entries describing the salient features of the modern global economic system, with plenty of detail, and delivered in a manageable and readily comprehensible style. If you find this subject interesting, it will give you what you need.
The narrator is clear, and paces the heavy-subject matter well.

Great for reference only
As a reference book this is great. If you're a beginner studying the financial markets or even experienced but looking to widen your knowledge base then certainly keep this book in your collection to refer to, but not as a full listen in it's self. If you're listening to another book and need further explanation on a specific aspect then just pause that, hop onto this book, find the chapter you need and you'll hear that exact info in clear, well spoken and easy to understand English. Fact after fact. No story, no nonsense.

Ab excellent book if you are interested in the markets
The narration is excellent, a little fast but I just slowed it down a bit. The book provides a great overview over all aspects of the various financial products and markets.

Touches on most important topics
Fast and factual, not much 'meat on the bones' but a useful overview. Worth reading if you want to gain an appreciation for what financial markets do.

Great guide for beginners
Fantastic insight on complex areas. Most subjects are explained on simple, concise terms, and those that are not are expanded on properly.

It's not a Guide but a Dictionary
Book does not serve as a guide, pretty much what it does it provides dry definitions. Not what I was expecting. Would not recommend.
