Download How to Speak Money: What the Money People Say - and What It Really Means AudioBook Free
To those who don't speak it, the vocabulary of money can appear impenetrable and its ideas too intricate to grasp. How to Speak Money is acclaimed article writer John Lanchester's interesting and informative try to bridge the gap between your money people and the rest of us. With characteristic wit and candor ("wickedly funny" - Dwight Garner, New York Times), Lanchester shows the way the world of fund and economics does work - from the terms and conditions of your personal bank checking account to the evasions of bankers appearing in front of Congress. How to Speak Money shows how the vocabulary of money is usually a tool to conceal and mislead; he explains hundreds of common economic terms, from GDP to the IMF, amortization to securitization to collateralized debt responsibility; and he argues that we all need to speak money lest those who do write the financial guidelines for themselves.
