It contains full details of the main financial markets and institutions as well as presenting some key theoretical developments such as asymmetric information, the efficient markets hypothesis and the term structure of interest rates, thus providing an analytical framework to aid understanding of the institutional structure. Recent changes in the UK financial system are also covered.

This text provides both the institutional structure and the economic theory behind the financial systems. The 17 chapters each take one aspect of financial systems as its theme and then provides, through sub-sections, a comprehensive analysis of the various concerns of that area. Opening chapters provide an introduction to financial systems and a consideration of flow of funds accounting. Other chapters cover financial institutions; financial markets, including the equity and bond markets, the sterling and Euro-security markets, foreign exchange and financial futures markets; management of risk; the single European Market; efficiency of the United Kingdom financial system; and prudential regulation.

In this groundbreaking book Bill Bolton and John Thompson present a completely new take on the conventional domains of entrepreneur, leader and manager. They argue that in today’s turbulent and uncertain world, businesses no longer have the time for a business cycle that begins with an entrepreneur, hands over to a manager and finally brings in a strategic leader when things are flagging. ‘The New Normal’ that now prevails requires that these things run together and calls for a new kind of all-rounder. Bolton and Thompson give us a new word to describe such a person:                                                 The ENTIREPRENEUR The entirely competent person, able to discern aright and make things happen. Drawing upon the successful person-centred approach of their books on entrepreneurs they first tell the stories of over 40 entirepreneurs, demonstrating clearly that such people do exist. After discussing the ‘New Normal’ context they present a fascinating analysis that goes below the surface to describe the key Talent, Temperament, Technique and Discernment attributes that explain the entirepreneur. Readers have the opportunity to make a self-evaluation of their own attribute strengths, concluding with a final ‘entirepreneur’ score. This fascinating and insightful look at the entirepreneur is a clear pointer to what will be demanded of those who wish to succeed amid the vicissitudes of the 'New Normal’.
