"The book is aimed at the relative newcomer to the subject in that it does not make many assumptions about the prior knowledge of the reader and does not develop the theoretical aspects beyond the level needed to provide the reader with the necessary understanding to apply the concepts in practice. A key feature of the book is its emphasis on using accounting concepts in value management. A key idea element deals with managing all aspects of the firm--and, even, on creating a new firm. Hence prominence is given to the practical aspects of raising capital and building up and managing the financial aspects of the business. The text covers all the key aspects of corporate finance. One particular innovation is the way it addresses firms at all their different stages of development, from the business start-up to the mature, public company. Specific chapters deal with business formation and how to raise capital and, in later chapters, important issues such as corporate risk management and international finance are covered"--

"Written under the shadow of the global financial crisis, this book charts the current shape of global finance and tries to explain why the crisis arose - and what can be done about it. Economics alone cannot fully explain how global finance operates, and why it is so crisis prone. Global Finance offers a wider approach in three key ways, by: - setting markets and financial market failure in a historical context - bringing politics and culture back into the analysis of global finance - drawing on the latest thinking by sociologists of economic life. With a convincing argument for better regulation of markets, Robert Holton provides a fascinating insight into the volatile and often misunderstood world of global finance. This is a key text for undergraduate students of sociology, economics, business, and politics, as well as being an incisive, informative read for anyone with an interest in this topical issue"--
