An Introduction to Banking provides an introduction to liquidity risk management and asset-liability management. It begins with an overview of modern banking, the goals of a bank, how they operate, and how a breakdown in the banking system contributed to the crisis. Subsequent chapters introduce the fundamental workings of a bank and explore ALM and liquidity risk management in greater detail. As regulators move to enforce liquidity risk management in banks, and ongoing needs to better manage a bank’s assets and liabilities, this book is a must-have reference for all finance practitioners.

‘What happens if I drop an ant’? ‘What books are bad for you’? ‘What percentage of the world’s water is contained in a cow’? The Oxbridge undergraduate interviews are infamous for their unique ways of assessing candidates, and from these peculiar enquiries, professors can tell just how smart you really are. John Farndon has collected together 75 of the most intriguing questions taken from actual admission interviews and gives full answers to each, taking the reader through the fascinating histories, philosophies, sciences and arts that underlie each problem. This is a book for everyone who likes to think they’re clever, or who thinks they’d like to be clever. And cleverness is not just knowing stuff, it’s how laterally, deeply and interestingly you can bend your brain. Guesstimating the population of Croydon, for example, opens a chain of thought from which you can predict the strength of a nuclear bomb …and that’s just the start of it.

For a civilization so fixated on achieving happiness, we seem remarkably incompetent at the task. Self-help books don’t seem to work. Few of the many advantages of modern life seem capable of lifting our collective mood. Wealth―even if you can get it―doesn’t lead to happiness.
