It’ll Never Fly: The City Of London
Who would have thought back in 1698, as they downed their espressos, that the little band of stockbrokers from Jonathan’s Coffee House in Change Alley EC3 would be the founder- members of what would become the world’s mighty money capital?
Progress was not entirely smooth. The South Sea Bubble burst in 1720 and the coffee house exchanges burned down in 1748. As late as Big Bang in 1986, when bowler hats were finally hung up, you wouldn’t have bet the farm on London surpassing New York, Frankfurt, and Tokyo as Mammon’s international nexus. Yet the 325,000 souls who operate in the UK capital’s financial hub have now overtaken their New York rivals in the size of the funds managed (including offshore business); they hold 70% of the global secondary bond market and the City dominates foreign exchange trading. And its institutions paid out £9 billion in bonuses in December. The Square Mile has now spread both eastwards from EC3 to Canary Wharf and westwards into Mayfair, where many of the private-equity ‘locusts’ and their hedge-fund pals now hang out. For foreigners in finance, London is the place to be. It has no Sarbanes-Oxley and no euro to hold it back, yet the fact that it still flies so high is against the odds. London is one of the most expensive cities in the world to live in, transport systems groan and there’s an ever-present threat of terrorist attack. But, for the time being, the deals just keep on getting bigger.
Show Sample Summary >>> 2. Read and summarize written text in your words. The French Revolution was caused by economic problems, inequalities in society, the poor leadership of King Louis XVI, and Enlightenment ideas. Leading up to 1789 France was experiencing difficult economic problems throughout their society. Aiding the 13 colonies in the Revolutionary War further weakened the French treasury. King Louis XVI and the French nobility conflicted on how to increase revenue because France had an unequal tax system. The nobility and clergy, wealthiest of French society, were exempt from taxation. Most of the government’s income came from the working merchant class and peasant class. The nobility was unwilling to change their tax status leading the French government into bankruptcy. Along with economic problems came food shortages that arose from several crop failures throughout the 1780’s. Bread was scarce causing extremely high prices. Peasants not only heavily taxed, but many were starving. To stay updated, like us on Facebook.Share your answer through comments.
London has surpassed its rivals like New York and Tokyo, and dominates foreign exchange trading by competing against the odds yet continues to get bigger; furthermore, this transition was not entirely smooth.
Economic instability was the prominent factor for the French Revolution because the unequal tax system prevented nobility from paying taxes; on the other hand, only working groups suffered by extreme tax rates forcing the French government into bankruptcy.
In the late 1780’s, French economy was completely collapsed and bankrupted due to unequal tax policies between rich and poor community of people and several other issues including poor management, which had led to shortage of food and very high prices on basic goods.
France’s unequal tax system was the main economic problem that lead to The French Revolution where peasants were highly taxed even though they were starving.

Very crisp answer aber there are small grammatical mistakes which do not make it a single sentence. I don’t want to be a smart mouth here, just point it out to you. 🙂
The unequal taxation in France leads French government into bankruptcy, causes economic problem and imbalance in French society, along with economic failure, poor governance, and foods shortage scared the society which leads into the French Revolution.
The Revolutionary war and unequal tax of French made country economy week, as King Louis XVI and others were conflicted on how to increase revenue as rich people were exempted from tax, crops also got failure which made middle class people to suffer more from heavy taxes and high prices on food.
Despite the initial failure of London Stock brokering, it surpassed the top leaders of fund management of different country by holding 70% of global secondary bonds and even though threats of terrorist attacks, still it was the number one choice of global investors.
When no body thinks that London will dominate the international finance market a small group from London become founder. There were many ups and down in the London stock market but London dominate other big stock market of the world. London is the most attractive place for finance people. In spite of poor transportation and threat of terrorism London is still priority for finance world people.
