Finance Just in Time: Understanding the Key to Business and Investment Before It's Too Late

Finance Just in Time is a hands-on, no-equations guide to both corporate finance and the financial markets. Author Hugo Dixon, former editor of the Lex Column for the Financial Times, explains topics such as risk, return, cost of capital, valuation, shareholder value, mergers & acquisitions, stocks, currency, bond markets, and crises and crashes in a highly accessible manner. The book is geared to business and non-business professionals who need a stronger understanding of finance and how it works.

Dixon is now Editor and Chairman of BreakingViews.com, which aims to be Europe’s first online service specializing in financial comment that provides high quality commentary on the big financial stories of the day – on the day they break.
