The Stock Exchange

Step onto the floor of one of the worlds most influential marketplaces and hear how the machinery of finance actually runs. In The Stock Exchange, Charles Duguid opens the doors of the London Stock Exchange and explains, in clear and confident prose, what it is, who operates it, and why its daily rhythms matter far beyond the City.

This is a practical, observant guide to the inner workings of stocks and shares trading as it functions in a classic exchange setting. Duguid maps the structure of the market, the roles of members and clerks, and the responsibilities of the governing committee. He walks listeners through how business is transacted, how settlement works, and how prices are recorded, bringing order and meaning to a world that can seem fast, coded, and intimidating.

You will also find thoughtful discussion of market behavior, option dealing, failures, and the social life that surrounds the exchange, along with a concise sketch history and a close look at a working day in the profession. For listeners drawn to financial history, stock market basics, London finance, and the foundations of modern investing, this audiobook offers an engaging education in market structure and trading practice.
