Omschrijving
An entertaining and indispensable guide to the language of finance and economics by the writer hailed for “explain[ing] complex stuff in a down-to-earth and witty style” (The Economist).
"An idiosyncratic collection of short, sharp essays translating the jargon of finance with admirable concision and wit."
"One of the world's great explainers of the financial crisis and its aftermath."
"Insightful and often funny… An invaluable primer."
"A hugely enjoyable book… Lanchester is a kind of brainy Everyman, a brilliant communicator."
"An entertaining and informative read… Witty, provocative and engaging."
"How to Speak Money is a wonderful and enlightening book. Refreshingly clear, sharp, and funny, it’ll help you understand not only what the language of finance means but also why it matters."
"Reading this book is like meeting an easy-going guy at a cocktail party who can explain everything that’s always mystified you about high finance—‘inverted yield curve,’ anyone?—with sparkle, wit, and crystal clarity. And if you’re already a finance-insider, you’ll get a kick out of Lanchester’s sly ironies."
"A terrific primer on financial jargon… Anyone who wants to understand the nightly news should keep this volume at hand."
"Lays out the case for financial literacy and then provides an essential glossary of terms for those who would like to achieve this happy state."
John Lanchester is the author of five novels, including The Debt to Pleasure and Capital. His books have been translated into more than twenty-five languages, and he is a regular contributor to The New Yorker and the New York Review of Books. He lives in London.
