I think you need to narrow the scope of your question. It's like saying I'm in finance and I want to learn about computers. You'd say, do you what to know how to code, the history of computers, do you want to know how to work with operating systems do you want to fix computers.
First I'd ask what you want to learn finance for. Do you want to be a banker, do you want to be a stock trader, do you want to know economic theory, do you want to understand particular asset classes, do you want to just be better with your own finance. Micro macro? Once you narrow it down you can find some literature on the sub topic.

- clappski 10y agoIs say your first step would be to understand the mechanics of trading (exchange, OTC, speculative arbitrage trading). Then, you'd need both a broad understanding of different asset classes and instruments and a deep understanding on where you want to focus (i.e. macroeconomics would need you to grok instruments like FX swaps). Then you need to learn the mathematical models on how to price these instruments and how to derive their value. I would recommend reading 'Options, Futures and Other Derivatives' as a starting point, and getting the companion solution booklet so you can check your assignment answers.
