Content:
This book provides an understanding of what goes on in the sector of foreign currency trading that has exploded during the last twenty years. The author gives a behind the scenes portrait and guided tour of the places, computer systems, electronic circuitry, people, banking institutions and other institutions involved in moving gigantic volumes of money around the world. He does this with a sense of the history of how the system has evolved in recent years, including the arrival of the new global currency, the Euro, and the currency crashes that seem to have become a more frequent feature of international finance in the era of globalization and freed up money markets.
