  In October 1986 Big Bang hit the City of London, bringing about a radical transformation in customs, practices, people and behaviour. It is now a new City - a place where earnings have exploded in line with a soaring volume of business. A new breed of determined youth have made their mark within the formerly conservative institutions. Yet, one year on almost to the day, the City was rocked by an unprecedented collapse in the 5-year bull market. The fallout is still being felt. This title in the Economist pocket guide series examines the labyrinth of structural change, from the great institutions like Lloyd's, Rothschild, and the Bank of England, to the activities of Guinness, Ivan Boesky and the Fraud Squad.
