That world is dead. Now, the world's money is traded by computer code, inside black boxes in heavily guarded buildings. Even the experts entrusted with your cash don't know what's happening to it. And the very few who do aren't about to tell - because they're making a killing.

Deserves appreciation

Publisher's Summary
The definitive guide to why different financial markets exist and how they operate.
This edition brings the listener right up to speed with the latest developments in financial instruments and provides a clear and incisive guide to this complex world that even those who work in it often find hard to understand. With chapters on the markets that deal with money, foreign exchange, equities, bonds, commodities, financial futures, options, and other derivatives, it looks at why these markets exist, how they work and who trades in them, and it gives a run-down of the factors that affect prices and rates.
Business history is littered with disasters that occurred because people involved their firms in financial markets they didn't properly understand. Read this book and you and your company won't be new additions to this list.
A fabulous source of reference for anyone wishing to understand financial markets - there is no better guide.

This sharpened my understanding
I have an informal self-education in this topic. I have, for example, a basic ready definition of what a money market fund is, and how a mutual fund works. This refreshes these basic understandings across the full range of markets, and sharpens them nicely. Alongside definitions we get well-chosen bits of background and history where appropriate. It moves briskly and held my attention well.

Great reference book
This book is fantastic for the breadth of material it covers. It does not cover any one subject in enough detail that it could be used as a reference for that particular subject however. For example, if you were interested in learning how to invest in bonds, I have would not recommend buying this book and counting on its section on bonds to provide enough information to do so. However, if you are looking to begin learning about financial markets, this book is perfect. It gives clear, easy to follow introductory explanations of virtually all securities and markets around the world.

Complete, accurate and highly recommended
Would you consider the audio edition of Guide to Financial Markets (6th edition) to be better than the print version?
The topic is complex with plenty of financial data and having financial data. This title would greatly benefit from having a reference guide along side printing, for example, the contract definition of a oil future and its formula to calculate tick value. The books is an excellent reference material which is less valuable in audio as opposed to a text book that could be annotated and pages could be flipped more easily. Having that said. it is still an excellent reminder since is was well above 20 years since I left the business school. And as a work in the field of finance I can grasp the audio, probably less suited for beginners.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Guide to Financial Markets (6th edition)?
Its structured way of describing financial instruments through classification by market they trade in.
Have you listened to any of Philip Franks’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Plenty of Ahaa reactions, but I'll save the tears for other books
Any additional comments?
Highly recommended to financial market workers.

A dense, comprehensive textbook.
This is one of those "does what it says on the cover" books. It's an educational textbook, consisting of a series of entries describing the salient features of the modern global economic system, with plenty of detail, and delivered in a manageable and readily comprehensible style. If you find this subject interesting, it will give you what you need.
The narrator is clear, and paces the heavy-subject matter well.
