Money is our global language. Yet so few of us can speak it. The language of the
economic elite can be complex, jargon-filled and completely baffling.
Above
all, the language of money is the language of power - power in the hands of the
same economic elite. Now John Lanchester, bestselling author of Capital and Whoo
ps! sets out to decode the world of finance for all of us, explaining everything
from high-frequency trading and the World Bank to the difference between bullsh
it and nonsense. As funny as it is devastating, How To Speak Money is a primer a
nd a polemic.
It's a reference book you'll find yourself reading in one sitti
ng. And it gives you everything you need to demystify the world of high finance
- the world that dominates how we all live now.
