Description
Crash Bang Wallop: The Inside Story of London's Big Bang and a Financial Revolution that Changed the World The 1980s saw a seismic shift in the City of London, transforming attitudes to money and the way we measure value and status. Iain Martin's gripping account of this pivotal moment in modern history reveals how the 'Big Bang' revolutionised the international markets, with far-reaching consequences for politics, style, technology, the class system, public ownership, and the geography of London. As the capital became a testing ground for financial globalisation, huge repercussions followed for the global economy. This insider's account explores what's next for global finance as it prepares for its next revolution. With a keen eye for the broader conclusion, Martin brings a unique perspective to this critically important moment in modern history.
