Latin, Greek and Money

Language and money: they may seem different, but they have a lot in common. Without them, the world would be stuck in the here and now. Former Goldman Sachs trader and classical-language aficionado Bill Feingold, who now runs his own financial-consulting practice, helps you fill in two important knowledge areas with one energetic book. Bill, author of the acclaimed The Undoing of Cowardice and Beating the Indexes, uses Latin and Greek word origins to give unique perspectives on today's most important business and financial concepts. You'll come away understanding the words, financial and otherwise, that dictate how we live and work today. The bite-sized descriptions let you teach yourself at your own pace, with Bill at your side. A must for students entering college and the business world!
