  Focusing on the state of almost 150 of the UK's most important public limited companies, this book considers all parts of the business world - banking and insurance, retail and manufacture, and the privatized utilities of water, gas and electricity. For each company, The Guardian economics team examines share-price performance, sales, profit, cash flow, directors' renumeration and the companies' wider policies, including political affiliations and environmental awareness. The guide also looks at the future prospects for business in the UK.
