The World's Money (RLE: Banking & Finance)

This volume is an extremely readable guide to the world of international finance by two former City Editors of The Times. It is designed for people who want to understand something of the world’s financial affairs and learn how to follow jargon on the City pages of newspapers or money programmes on radio and television. Starting with the basic facts, the authors gently guide you through the world’s money maze – so that by the time you have reached the last chapter you should be able to understand the newspaper extracts printed at the end of the book. The World’s Money aims to answer some of the many questions of the times in which it was published: Why had there been so many monetary crises? How were they caused? What is the role of gold in international finance? How do exchange rates, the IMF, the World Bank, the eurodollar market work? What is the new World Money? How was the pound devalued? Can 1929 recur? The material is equally suitable for students, sixth-formers, economists and the armchair reader. Contemporary events are used as examples and illustrations, the history and the future of money discussed, so that the book is at once topical for its times and of lasting value.

When Wilkie Collins died in 1889, he shocked Victorian society by dividing his estate equally between two mistresses, Caroline Graves and Martha Rudd, and acknowledging Martha's three children as his own. Clarke pieces together the truth behind this menage a trios to brings to life one of the Victorian age's most colourful characters.

When World War I broke out in 1914, Russia's Romanov dynasty was among the world's richest families. Yet ever since the Bolsheviks executed Tsar Nicholas II, his wife Alexandra, and their children at Ekaterinburg, the mystery of what happened to their wealth has remained unsolved€”until now. The author has spent 30 years on the trail of the Tsar's lost fortune. His pursuit has taken him across continents, to dusty vaults in great banks€”bullion, jewels, and bank accounts have been his quarry. This book contains an account of his answers.
