"What happens in the city has never affected us more. In this authoritative guide, now fully revised and updated, Philip Coggan cuts through the headlines, the scandals and the jargon to explain the nuts and bolts of the financial system showing why we should all be more familiar with a system we so intimately depend on." - from back cover.
