From reviews of the first edition:
'Bill Clarke has been writing books about the financial markets of the City of London since 1956 — prompting former premier Lord Wilson of Rievaulx to dub him the City's Boswell. I'm glad to report that Boswell has found time to do it again.'
Financial Times
'For those who have as much understanding about how the City operates as most folk have about the theory of relativity, try William Clarke's How [he City of London Worlis.'
The Economist
'William Clarke has written a number of guides to the work of the City of London None is better than this. In the space of little more than 120 pages Clarke has surely provided answers to all the questions that outsiders ask.'
The Banker
'There are much longer books on the financial system, but few that can carry such a convincing authority.'
