Thoroughly updated, this new sixth edition of Financial Institutions and Markets focuses on Australia’s financial system, while retaining the structure of the successful fifth edition. It examines the financial system’s three main functions – settlement, flow-of-funds and risk transfer – and provides a clear and comprehensive integrated account of the activities of Australia’s financial institutions and markets, including the risks they face and the instruments they use. As well, the major capital and foreign exchange markets and the markets for derivatives (and their use as hedging instruments) are discussed. This new 6th edition covers recent financial innovations, such as high-frequency trading in the share market and APRA’s adoption of Basel II (and Basel III) – an explanation of how the RBA assesses the financial system’s stability. It also includes new ‘Industry Insights’ and ‘Practical Applications’ that illustrate specific topics, such as the role of margin loans and short selling in the demise of ABC Learning. The main update for this new edition has been the development of ‘Lessons from the GFC’ that are designed to complement the book’s explanations of a range of topics, such as the use of leverage, lending for housing, securitisation, the role of the inter-bank market, the pricing of risk in bond markets and the role of speculation in the market for Australian dollar.

This book may be a hard pill to swallow. But it's a necessary conversation that must be had for anyone wishing to sanely navigate the chaotic & predatory culture we all find ourselves in. We all know something is just not right. We all sense the imbalance, injustice & insanity. But what can we actually do about it? Who & what can be trusted? These 5 authors are not your typical academic lot. Most of what is discussed inside this book would never make its way into mainstream corporate media. Which is not only the problemâ¦ it's also the solution. Be prepared to become a very different human being.

From established sports journalist Ben Hunt, the very first biography of the up-and-coming British driver Lando Norris, published on the brink of the British Grand Prix. As the youngest ever British Formula 1 driver, Lando Norris is trailblazing his way through the world of motor racing. After signing as a junior driver for McLaren in 2017, he has since asserted himself as the team's brightest talent and an aspiring world champion. Born to British and Belgian parents and raised in the idylls of south-west England, Lando's childhood reflects how even the calmest of upbringings can create an adrenaline junkie. As one of a new cohort of young drivers seeking to assert their dominance in the sport, Lando is a uniquely modern sportsman, who celebrates learning and personal development, but who nonetheless has the killer instinct required to take him to the very pinnacle of F1. In Lando Norris, motor sport aficionado and journalist Ben Hunt draws on his extensive driver and paddock access to seek to understand what makes Lando tick and examines how this young British driver has been well and truly raised in the mould of a champion.
