  In this fast moving and irreverent guide to banks and bankers, their jargon and activities, hundreds of definitions explain the mysterious world of high finance in London and New York. The book is illustrated with cartoons, charts and tables that show at a glance which are the biggest banks in the world, how deals are put together and loans are determined and how the money goes round. From a forfait to yankee bond, this book gives all the information you need to deal with banks and financial advisors on their own terms. 20% of the book is completely new. 'Timely and valuable, and will be helpful to all those (students, businessmen, readers of the financial press and also bankers and market operators themselves), who are sometimes not quite sure they know what a particular term means but do not want to read through pages of formal definition and still not know.' The Economist.
