"Economist" International Dictionary of Finance

This dictionary is designed to be a comprehensive and concise reference guide for anyone who wants to be well informed about the international world of finance. The globalization of financial markets has generated a mass of new terminology and made it increasingly important for those in New York or London to know the financial terms used in Japan or Germany as well as in each other's market-place. This library edition includes over 1800 entries, from "abschtag" and "acid ratio", to "variable kurs" and "zaibatsu". This dictionary would be of use to those in business, banking, government, journalism, education, and other professions, as well as to personal investors.
