The Economist Pocket Accountant*
Christopher Nobes
This informative and readable book is a companion volume to the very successM Pocket Economist. It defines, sometimes with a little irreverence, the complex words, phrases and concepts used in the often mysterious world of high finance and accountancy. What exactly is "accelerated depreciation", what goes "below the line", what is a "conceptual framework", and what on earth does one do with "deferred tax"? This will be an invaluable guide for users and preparers of accounts; for managers, shareholders and bystanders. The terms are defined for both sides of the Atlantic; and the work is illustrated with amusing cartoons. No briefcase will be complete without one.

The Pocket Economist*
Rupert Pennant-Rea & Bill Emmott
The economics editor and economics correspondent of The Economist newspaper take the reader on a guided tour of economics, economic institutions, and the often bewildering world of high finance. They define and explain terms ranging from balance of payments to Bretton Woods, from Eurocurrencies to export credits and from public spending to purchasing power parities, as well as explaining the role of organisations like the Worid Bank and the EEC.

The Economist Pocket Banker is a fast-moving and irreverent guide to banks and bankers, their jargon and activities.
Hundreds of highly readable definitions explain the mysterious world of high finance in London, New York and other financial centres. The book is illustrated with cartoons, charts and tables that show at a glance which are the biggest banks in the world, how deals are put together and loans are determined and how the money goes round. From ''a forfait" to "yankee bond", The Economist Pocket Banker demystifies the jargon and gives all the information you need to deal with banks and financial advisors on their own terms.
The book will be valuable for students of banking, financial managers and anyone in business who has to deal with money and its language. Vissza
