Product Description

Product Description
The title used to train the world's finest law firms, banks, accountants and other professionals.

All You Need to Know About the City: revised and updated in 2009 for the Credit Crunch.

From the Publisher
The global financial crisis has made what goes on in the City of London's financial markets more important and relevant than ever.

What is the credit crunch and sub-prime lending? What are toxic tranches and SIVs?

If you're working in or are thinking of working in the City, this book gives you the answers.

Designed to be a quick and easy read, it explains what everything is and how it all connects. It gives you the whole picture.

As a city insider says: 'This is all I've ever needed to know in almost 30 years of working in and around the City'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Invaluable resource for grads and interns, 31 Jul 2006
By Mr. Samuel J. Tombs - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: All You Need to Know About the City: Who Does Why and What in London's Financial Markets (Paperback)
I brought this book when applying for jobs in the City so that I would sound like I was informed. The book is attractively laid out and certainly not dry - the text is a joy to read and doesn't bore you to death like some others. It has everything I needed so that I didn't embarrass myself on my first day, and more importantly, I still use it and refer back to it now that I'm at work. It's not written for business guru's - its for students, grads and interns who don't have any real practical knowledge of how the world works (that doesn't mean that its basic though). A sound investment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Informative, easy to digest, and, above all, interesting! , 13 Jun 2007
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 recommend it to anyone working in the City - from newbies who are starting out and need to know what all the unfamiliar jargon means, to those who've been at it for a while but need to brush up or clarify something. This book will answer all the questions you were too embarrassed to ask without being patronising or going all 'boring textbook' on you.

Definitely a must-read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful and non confusing, 4 Jan 2007
This review is from: All You Need to Know About the City: Who Does Why and What in London's Financial Markets (Paperback)
This book is great for those just about to head in to the city to work, those thinking about doing so but are scared or even people that have been in there for a while and need to brush up.

It answers so many questions that you'd feel embarassed to ask and does so delightfully - it's written simply and not like a textbook, it's actually enjoyable to read and you won't want to put it down.

However I would recommend looking elsewhere for a better price, I got mine on ebay for £9 inc. delivery!
