Britain's financial hub -- the Wall St of the UK -- is a square mile in the heart of London known as the City of London. This district is full of stockbrokers, foreign exchange dealers, accountants and underwriters. How the City Works provides a picture of the City's mechanisms and its relationship with other financial centers around the globe. Written in accessible language, it covers the key roles within the City and explains how they relate to one another. This new edition examines the City's rise in recent years to a new position of strength in the world of finance.
