Review
“Mixes the helpful, the sarcastic and the entertaining . . . [with] a touch of Ambrose Bierce’s Devil’s Dictionary about it.”
- Jim Higgins, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
“An idiosyncratic collection of short, sharp essays translating the jargon of finance with admirable concision and wit.”
- Peter Sokolowski, New York Times Book Review
“Insightful and often funny... An invaluable primer.”
- Ian Critchley, Sunday Times
“A hugely enjoyable book... Lanchester is a kind of brainy Everyman, a brilliant communicator.”
- Melanie Reid, The Times
“An entertaining and informative read... Witty, provocative and engaging.”
- Evening Standard
“How to Speak Money is a wonderful and enlightening book. Refreshingly clear, sharp, and funny, it’ll help you understand not only what the language of finance means but also why it matters.”
- James Surowiecki, best-selling author of The Wisdom of Crowds
“Reading this book is like meeting an easy-going guy at a cocktail party who can explain everything that’s always mystified you about high finance―‘inverted yield curve,’ anyone?―with sparkle, wit, and crystal clarity. And if you’re already a finance-insider, you’ll get a kick out of Lanchester’s sly ironies.”
- Jim Holt, best-selling author of Why Does the World Exist?
“A terrific primer on financial jargon... Anyone who wants to understand the nightly news should keep this volume at hand.”
- Publishers Weekly
“Lays out the case for financial literacy and then provides an essential glossary of terms for those who would like to achieve this happy state.”
- Sarah Lyall, New York Times
