Financial Meltdown Christopher Peach

Winding his way through the complex world of international finance, Andrew Leather's involvement begins as a fifteen year old schoolboy playing the stock markets with a million pounds worth of credit lines, opened to him just as the markets began to rise and plunge on a rollercoaster of fiscal crises. His personal life echoes the highs and lows of his career as he develops as a gay man moving through the landscape of an intolerant Europe. Finding love and respect at both work and play, his deep knowledge and understanding of the money markets enables him to steer a course through the mayhem of social and financial disaster on the world stage. As Andy progresses from past to future, will his expertise at predicting the volatile events unfolding around him be enough to save the world's banks from collapse, or will everything descend into the ultimate financial meltdown?
