‘An excellent introduction the principles and, importantly, the practice of lending in all its forms. Lending prudently, responsibly and profitably is far from simple, especially when markets are booming. However as this book clearly explains, it is essential in order to create a thriving and successful economy.’

Liam O'Keefe, Managing Director, Head of London Special Projects London Branch, Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank
