This book is one of Arthur Hailey's best books and well worth reading, both for insights into another industry (which Hailey always does well) and for well-constructed characters.

What did I know about banks before? A little! But since I read this book, I knew more about banks and the dillemas they face amidst the ordinary revolution of this naive world. It offers a view of a collapsing realm of economy, that which holds the blood line of society. Good!

I don't view this book with an ideological mind, as other reviewer pointed.

The important point is that you will have much fun with the descriptions of what can happen to the guys in the money world.

What I can guarantee you is that you'll finish reading this book in 1, 2 or 3 days !

Very amusing. Enjoy it.

I read this book from cover to cover last year while hospitalized with "nothing better" to read....and I HIGHLY recommend "The Moneychangers" as an exciting story written in a gripping, seat-of-your-pants style. Characters are so next-door-neighborly and you can really identify with almost all of them at some point in their progression.

This book was written in the 1970's, yet its relevance especially in today's trying financial times will enlighten and educate anyone interested in the slightest about human psychology and the way money is so intertwined with our day-to-day lives. The ending couldn't have been more heroic, and I am surprised Hollywood hasn't run with it and created a truly RELEVANT blockbuster.
