&ldquo;The City is a tour de force, which will soon be recognized as a formidable challenge to conventional wisdom and an essential contribution in its own right.&rdquo;&mdash;Robert Brenner, author of The Economics of Global Turbulence &ldquo;It is not every day you read a book about global finance by a banker who quotes Lenin approvingly on page two. Unlike many of those who produce Marxist critiques of financial capitalism, Norfield writes from a position of experience: he has worked in the belly of the beast, and the book is the better for it &hellip;&#160;In The City, he has done the research and pulled together the financial statistics that explain how the bloodsucking works.&rdquo; &mdash;Financial Times&ldquo;This book does the seemingly impossible: rendering finance&rsquo;s mysteries transparent to the average reader, and at the same time delivering a penetrating analysis of the global economic system that will enlighten even experts. Tony Norfield has written a truly exciting and important book.&rdquo; &mdash;Paul Mattick, author of Business as Usual &ldquo;The City is a valuable addition to the critical analysis of the financialisation of our world. And Tony Norfield is an experienced and radical guide to London&rsquo;s role in this process. This book should be required reading for both bankers and activists alike.&rdquo; &mdash;Joris Luyendjik, author of Swimming with Sharks: My Journey into the World of the Bankers &ldquo;With heaps of empirical research and a clear style of argumentation, he demonstrates that the City isn&rsquo;t a &lsquo;satellite of Wall Street&rsquo; as many think, but its own beast, using Britain&rsquo;s imperialist privilege to extract value from the world economy. Much of the book is directed against bad arguments made by the liberal-left&mdash;the distinction between &lsquo;productive&rsquo; capitalism and &lsquo;casino&rsquo; banking; the populist vitriol against &lsquo;the banks&rsquo;&mdash;which Norfield believes aren't just analytically false but let capitalism off the hook.&rdquo; &mdash;Yohann Koshy, Vice &ldquo;Tony Norfield has had 20 years experience in City of London financial dealing rooms, for ten years as an executive director and global head of FX strategy in a major European bank.  He went on to complete a PhD in economics at SOAS, London.  Above all, he is a Marxist.  It&rsquo;s a perfect recipe for an excellent book on modern British imperialism and the features of global finance in the 21st century.&rdquo; &mdash;Michael Roberts, author of The Long Depression &ldquo;How many Marxists are at work in the dealing rooms of the City? Presumably they keep their heads well down. Tony Norfield is&mdash;or was&mdash;one. Twenty years a trader at the centre of the financial web, he has married the insights into the workings of the system he gained to a thorough Marxist understanding of political economy. The result is this fascinating book.&rdquo;&mdash;Morning Star &ldquo;Tony Norfield's opus The City takes on a big subject and makes it, well&mdash;big &hellip;&#160;Casts a new light on a well-researched subject.&rdquo;&mdash;Financial Adviser &ldquo;A timely and insightful book &hellip; It is an excellent read for anyone seriously wanting to consider the financial system.&rdquo; &mdash;Scottish Business Insider &ldquo;An invaluable book for anyone wishing to better understand the world of finance, how the City operates and how this relates to the broader capitalist system.&rdquo; &mdash;Tom Haines-Doran, rs21From the Hardcover edition.
