An ideal introduction to the subject of finance for students. Buying a copy for every sixth form student in the country might just go some way to helping future generations leave our economy in less of a state than the current generation of leaders have. This book will also prove to be useful for a range of other people. It makes a good reference guide for finance professionals such as myself and a decent primer for those who work in non-finance industries but might need to get a better grasp of the subject matter for their job.
