"Guide to Financial Markets: Why they exist and how they work."

One of the greatest motivations of humans is to increase their goods and assets. We feel that we are progressing in life and accomplishing dreams when we have more money. The most common challenge for every person trying to increase their wealth is to know how to do it.

I decided to read a book from The Economist called “Guide to Financial Markets: Why they exist and how they work.” This book can be a great source of investment knowledge if you already have a foundation in finance and investment. The author breaks down the book into foreign exchange trade, equity, etc. I really liked the foreign exchange chapter since this is a very unpopular way to make money, though it moves millions around the world.

Overall, this book is not for people trying to find investment strategies. This book is all about core financial concepts that will help you formulate your own strategies using the best tools for your personality.
