How to Speak Money: What the Money People Say—And What It Really Means

by John Lanchester
Have you ever felt lost or excluded when financial experts talk about the economy? Bestselling author John Lanchester makes a powerful case that money is a language of power, a secret code used by an economic elite to write their own rules and keep the rest of us in the dark. This book isn't just a dry dictionary; it's a witty, "wickedly funny" tool for reclaiming your seat at the table. By translating more than 300 complex terms from "AAA rating" to "zombie bank," Lanchester empowers you to decode financial news, question authority, and become a savvy, informed participant in the world that dominates how we all live now.

Key Features

Key Points:

Financial Literacy is Power: Understanding financial terminology allows you to ask informed questions and make sound decisions, avoiding being misled by the "money people".
Jargon as Concealment: The book reveals how opaque language (like "collateralized debt obligation" or "financial engineering") is often used to obscure risks and true meanings.
Critical Thinking is Essential: Lanchester encourages readers to question everything, especially overly confident financial narratives, as certainty often hides uncertainty.
Understanding the System: The book breaks down complex concepts like hedge funds, the World Bank, and high-frequency trading, helping readers grasp how the global economy is interconnected and affects their daily lives.
Recognizing Systemic Flaws: Lanchester highlights issues such as hidden costs in financial products, how debt becomes dangerous when it outpaces income, and the problem of "too big to fail" institutions.

The book is praised as an "invaluable primer" and an "entertaining and informative read" for anyone who wants to understand the news and participate in economic debates.
