About this title

Review:

"I think Broadbent and Cullen is an excellent book and I am sure that this is not simply because both John and Mick have taught me in the past. Seriously, the book provides a very useful introduction especially for non finance specialists" John Parker. Lecturer, Sheffield Hallam
