"The view that everything can be seen in financial terms is not one shared by everyone. Dr Sandeep Goel in this well-conceived and presented work - across a wide range of capital related issues, provides both a scholarly and practical analysis. Dr Goel's expertise and knowledge - well exhibited in this book, will be of relevance and assistance to so many who professionally or otherwise deal with other people's money."Dr. Barry Rider OBE, Professor & Fellow Commoner Emeritus, Jesus College, University of Cambridge, UK
"A comprehensive and accessible guide to corporate finance, this book skillfully bridges theory and practice.
