Críticas:

An idiosyncratic collection of short, sharp essays translating the jargon of finance with admirable concision and wit.--Peter Sokolowski

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

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 hugely enjoyable book...Lanchester is a kind of brainy Everyman, a brilliant communicator.--Melanie Reid

An entertaining and informative read...Witty, provocative and engaging.

Insightful and often funny...An invaluable primer.--Ian Critchley

One of the world's great explainers of the financial crisis and its aftermath.--Michael Lewis
