This book demystifies 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 cover: money banking and insurance; concepts and comments bandied about corporate boardrooms; stockmarket and financial verbiage, takeover talk and the fundamentals of taxation; money markets and the Euro, Europe's single currency. Written in a light-hearted, simple style, the book is for both the layman who wants to feel at ease with financial terms as well as for the well-versed executive who will benefit from understanding the jargon he/she has to use daily. Entries are grouped into subjects for cohesion and reader's convenience. Cross-references in the margin of each page provide easy access to additional information.
