Good book. It's very brief, and the informal way in which it's written - the authors try to make the subject simple and easy to grasp, but in the end make it more complicated - there are chapters, where the authors explain something, but don't explain it fully, by for instance not mentioning the assumptions they make, which makes it more difficult in the end. The best pieces of writing in the book are the Financial Times pieces.
