The breadth and depth of the 4th edition of Stigum's Money Market makes it a must read for global wall street. In addition, I highly recommend this book to students (as, I, myself am a student going to graduate school in the Fall & a CFA Level 1 Candidate; I choose this to read for my 2 months of vacation time/off time from school).

While the price is substantially high, you will get more than your money's worth. Something I really like about how the book is structured is it doesn't get into the details/nitty gritty of the math involved, making it a good read, providing everything you need to know (no joke) about the broad money market world.

I highly respect Anthony Crescenzi (Mr. Crescenzi is now at PIMCO), and his intelligence of the markets (money markets included) shows why I think he is the best author for this material; in-fact, I was attracted to this book at first because Mr. Crescenzi is the co-author.

Anyone interested in the money market part of the financial world/wall street is guaranteed to like this book. Should be supplementary reading for the CFA program (all 3 levels). One of the best - if not the best - books on my desk (while the subject material is different than the classic Security Analysis, I consider this book just as good if not better)...you will not be disappointed with this book, guaranteed.

This book is pretty comprehensive in its scope. Overall it is pretty accessible to both laypeople and finance types. Might be improved with a slightly different layout with more structure. Overall though, I would recomend it for somebody who really wants to know about the world of Moolah!
