5.0 out of 5 stars Superb Introduction to the Current Financial Markets, 25 Jun 2003

Julia Whitfield (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Guide To Financial Markets (Hardcover)

Guide to Financial, by Marc Levinson (former Finance Editor of the Economist) is an excellent introduction to the financial markets. Levinson provides a practical, concise, readable examination of the topic, which is useful for the novice financier. I would highly recommend this book for finance or economics graduates, wishing to pursue a career in finance/banking. It will arm you with very useful finance knowledge you won’t have gained in the classroom. The book examines the where, when, why, what and how of bond, money, foreign exchange, equity, financial futures, commodities, securitisation, options and derivatives markets.

Mike B. "Mike" (London, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Guide To Financial Markets (Hardcover)

definitely recommended. Gives a clear and comprehensive overview of financial markets and products - nicely written rather being full of formulas... so explains concepts very well. Good buy!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great overview, 16 April 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Guide To Financial Markets (Hardcover)

This book provides a great overview of the workings of the financial markets. It is accessible to beginners on the subject, while still providing quite a bit of detail. Ideal for anyone who wants a "snapshot" of today's financial markets!
