 Good For What It Is January 18, 2009
Reader (Arlington, Virginia)

"The Economist Guide to Financial Markets" provides a readable overview of the main financial instruments and the markets in which they trade. Terms are clearly defined and helpful examples are given. The book will be of no value to readers looking for investment strategies. However, it is a great source of background information for students or ordinary readers trying to make sense of financial developments reported in the media.

This is a great place to start for someone without an economics or finance background. The author does a good job of giving the big picture of the financial markets. I found the chapters on equities, options, and derivatives to be especially interesting. The last chapter could have been broken into 2 chapters IMO, since there is so much material there. The book is not biased to the US or any particular market. The only negatives are the lack of any mathematics, and the sometimes excessive use of facts and figures.
Basic, but detailed February 3, 2007

An introduction to the financial markets. The book covers most financial instruments and goes into some detail about each type. It isn't US nor European centric. Well worth the price as most of The Economist series are.
great book! January 10, 2007

This is a good book for starters like me. It gives you insight about the market, how it behaves and it also discusses the important history in the financial market.
