Description
The Economist Pocket Banker is a fast- moving and irreverent guide to banks and bankers, their jargon and activities.
Hundreds of highly readable definitions explain the mysterious world of high finance in London, New York and other financial centres. The book is illustrated with cartoons, charts and tables that show at a glance which are the biggest banks in the world, how deals are put together and loans are determined and how the money goes round. From "ร forfait" to "yankee bond", The Economist Pocket Banker demystifies the jargon and gives all the information you need to deal with banks and financial advisors on their own terms.
