Financial education book recommendations

Hi, can anyone please recommend a good book to learn more about finance.   My son has read the MSE education guide a couple of years ago, but now wants to learn more advanced financial concepts (shares, bonds, forex…etc).  Thanks!

  • The famous "Intelligent Investor" by Benjamin Graham is usually mentioned when such a question about reading material is sought.              Personally, I think it does not cover enough aspects in what is a very wide-ranging area of economics.                                                                                                            

    I don't think you can do much better than books in the Financial Times' series ----with different books covering investment, Stocks and bonds, investing, forex , etc. Not cheap but well worth it IMO---available on Amazon and other sites and bookstores.
