"This book is the place to start for anyone who wants an all-in-one
introduction to one of the world's greatest financial centres." -

"Too often, the institutions and markets that make up the City of
London are viewed in isolation rather than as connected parts of a
bigger entity. In this accessible introduction, Alexander Davidson
offers a practical insight into how it all fits together." -
