Dictionary of Finance and Banking
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Economists and accountants need no urging to stock their libraries with up-to-date texts, but the general public often sees no need. Sadly, the first book of finance may be a bankruptcy how-to. Financial acumen is desirable no matter what your position or bank account, and the Dictionary of Finance Banking is a scholarly yet accessible compendium of financial wisdom that is especially useful if you're a student, investor, or starting a business and drowning in a sea of new jargon. From absorption costing to zloty, more than 4,000 terms are defined. Believe badges of trade are earned by boy scouts, confused by balloon mortgages, made head-achy from balanced-budget multipliers? Just perusing one page of the Bs provides an education, and so it goes through all manner of financing and banking terms in this smart and incisive dictionary. --Stephanie Gold
