The Best of Alex 2002

Satirical glimpse into a banker's chaotic life.

If you fancy a light-hearted dig at the corporate finance world wrapped in wit, "The Best of Alex 2002" might be your cup of tea. This collection captures Alex's misadventures through the tumultuous realm of investment banking, serving both satire and a candid portrayal of an industry often shrouded in seriousness. It's a comic escape that manages to be both insightful and entertaining, perfect for unwinding after a long day.

Description

Alex, the cartoon investment banker who resides on the business pages of The Daily Telegraph, enters a new Millennium as arrogant and unpleasant as ever. It's been the toughest year yet in Alex's fifteen-year career. His world is rocked by financial scandals; his boss is having an affair with the head of human resources, and Alex must fight to retain his job as many colleagues are made redundant around him. Despite the chaos of his daily life, the irrepressible Alex still manages to humiliate his trainee Robin, goes skiing, plays golf and experiences very odd dreams in which he finds himself a pupil of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Alex has a huge following in the City of London and also in the Shires, as Telegraph-reading parents of brokers, bankers and lawyers wonder what their highly paid offspring really get up to during working hours.
