I'd suggest The Economist's Guide to Financial Markets. (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Economist-Guide-Financial-Markets-6...)
on “Ask HN: Introductory Books on the Stock Market?” ↗Stigum's Money Markets will tell you about the financial system specifically. Something like The Economist's Guide to Financial Markets will give you a good general overview. Some of the recommendations on here are truly awful.
