Product details

Do you feel excluded the moment financial jargon like "inverted yield curve," "securitization," or "monetary policy" enters the conversation?

How to Speak Money by acclaimed writer John Lanchester starts with a provocative premise: the language of money is often intentionally complex and baffling, a tool used by a powerful elite to write the rules for themselves while the rest of us remain in the dark.
This book is your essential decoder ring for the world's most important, yet least understood, global language. Lanchester, with his signature wit and clarity, bridges the gap between "the money people and the rest of us," transforming dense financial concepts into understandable, often funny, insights. It's a call to action: learn this language, or remain a bystander in the system that dominates all our lives.

Key Concepts for Decoding Finance

Money as a Language of Power: The central idea is that financial literacy isn't just about personal budgeting; it is vital for a functioning democracy. If you can't understand the terms, you can't participate in the crucial debates that shape the economy and your life.
"Reversification" (Words Meaning the Opposite): Lanchester highlights how terms like "Chinese wall" or "bailout" evolve to obscure their true meaning or consequences. He encourages a critical mindset: question what is being said and who benefits from the narrative.
Beyond the Jargon: Human Behavior: Economics is not just a "dismal science" of numbers; it's the study of human behavior. Understanding that fear, greed, and panic influence markets helps you see beyond the dry models.
Empowerment Through Knowledge: By mastering this language, you gain the confidence to make informed decisions about investments, debt, and the political choices that affect your financial well-being.
A Reference Book You'll Read in One Sitting: The book is structured largely as an entertaining and informative glossary of over 300 terms (from "AAA rating" to "zombie bank"), making it both a compelling read and a valuable, practical reference tool for anyone who deals with money.

Are you ready to stop being a passive observer of the financial world and start being a player in your own economic story?
