Description
Is it possible to talk about and understand money and business matters in perfectly simple language, without being confused by strange jargon? Difficult to believe but yes!
Let's Talk Money demystifies some of those commonly used but confusing words and phrases coined to explain and sometimes to disguise simple actions and concepts in industry, business and finance. The words and phrases defined cover:
- money, banking and insurance
- concepts and comments bandied about corporate boardrooms
- stockmarket and financial verbiage, takeover
- talk and the fundamentals of taxation
An added value of this book is its snapshot of major global groupings and financial institutions that have an impact on the world economy, of business tycoons who have left their imprint on business and society, and of financial scandals that have rocked the international business community.
Written in a light-hearted, simple style, Let's Talk Money is for both the layman who wants to feel at ease with business terms and also for the well-versed executive who will benefit from the added insight into business jargon.
