| A great layman's guide to how companies are analysed and valued. We know author, Michael Cahill well as he helps us to train our trainers. |
This book, published in 2009, is a great introduction to the financial world. We love the "speed read summaries". It can be read as a whole or used as a quick reference book. |
A follow on from the book to the left, published in 2010, this goes into more depth. We love the "day trips" to New York, Tokyo, Hong Kong etc. |

| FT journalist, Philip Coggan's book is a good introduction to the financial markets. |
An old book now, written by Hugo Dixon, founder of Breakingviews, still the best layman's guide to economics and corporate finance. |
A useful book if you need to get into the complexity of bank accounts and valuation. |

Even though it is a bit dated now, Barbarians at the Gate recounts the US leveraged buyout (LBO) of RJR Nabisco and the frenzy that overtook Wall Street in the 1980s. It is an easy and enjoyable way to learn about acquisitions, hostile takeovers, liquidity, assets, etc.

The Smartest Guys in the room tells the story of the accounting scams that were uncovered in one of the largest corporate scandals in US history which lead to criminal trials for several of the company's top executives. It is a well told and shocking story of greed and corruption of not only the senior Execs but also the bankers, traders, and even the auditors who turned a blind eye to the company's suspicious numbers.

A super short book that examines the financial mess of the UK, explaining how he predicted the UK banking crisis before it happened. It is very clear and well written without saying ‘I told you so’!

This book is explains how Tesco has been so successful at gaining their dominant position in the UK retail sector. In some ways, it is a bit of a one-sided book in its damnation of Tesco, its effect on communities and even our economy but still a very interesting and powerful read.

The shocking story of how, in the last century, the first globalised company and banana importer United Fruit managed to gain a huge amount of influence on a global scale setting the precedence of institutional greed and global capitalism today. A bit heavier going than Tescopoly.
