Excellent book for beginners. I have done Prof. Shiller's classes on Open yale .This book is an absolute add-on.

This is a good overview of the way capital markets and the banking system works. It is a survey and does not go into depth on anything in particular. There is a slightly greater emphasis on bonds, which makes sense because Fabozzi is a bond guru.

Not good, you can learn same thing by yourself by Google. The only benefit of reading it is everything at one place
