Background and synopsis

The City is an insider's account of how the City, as London's financial centre is known, dominates international banking and foreign exchange and shapes global capital.[1] Norfield spent twenty years as a senior trader in the financial district.[2] He uses the inside knowledge to investigate the "role of the US dollar in global trading, the network of British-linked tax havens, the flows of finance around the world and the system of power built upon financial securities"[3]

Reception

In

Morning Star Andrew Murray described The City as "fascinating" and "outstanding" and praised the in-depth research and analysis in the book.[5]
