Finance has become one of the most important and popular subjects in management school today. This subject has progressed tremendously in the last forty years, integrating models and ideas from other areas such as
physics, statistics, and accounting. The financial markets have also rapidly expanded and changed extensively with improved technology and the ever changing regulatory and social environment. For example, there has been a rapid expansion of financial concepts, instruments, and tools due
to increased computing power and seemingly instantaneous information sharing through networks. The internationalization of businesses and economies will continue to impact the field of finance. With all this progress and expansion in finance and society, we thought that it would be useful to put together an updated comprehensive encyclopedia as a reference book for both students and professionals, in an attempt to meet the demand for a key source of fundamental finance terminology and concepts.

None of us know enough about money. Many of us are confused
about some financial matters. My recent blind spot was ‘hedging’, so I looked it up in The Joy of Money, where it is covered in one, easy-to-read paragraph; if I wanted to know more detail, it referred me to the Derivatives – Options entry. Again, a model of condensation matched only by its clarity.
This is why I keep Michelle Doughty’s A–Z money guide in my
handiest bookshelf, next to Collins Dictionary and Thesaurus. In straightforward, jargon-free language, Michelle explains hundreds of terms from the basics of mortgages and pensions to how to handle HM Revenue & Customs. I am lucky enough to be a friend of Michelle, and from time to time she has given me instant, sensible uidance on my financial affairs. Having been a stockbroker and run a financial education organization, Michelle has plenty of hands-on experience. I hope that you, too, can profit from her easy-to-follow, wise and simple money guide.

Preface
This book is about what aspects of economics it is necessary to know about to understand why financial markets are so volatile. It is designed to demonstrate that behind all the jargon associated with the financial markets there are some basic economic ideas operating. What these basic ideas are is not evident from either existing textbooks nor from reading the financial press. The text is not designed as a standard economics textbook as the market place is full of excellent textbooks for anyone seeking to understand basic economic ideas.
Prior to the publication of this text readers seeking to
understand how the economics world and the real financial
market place interact have had a problem. The financial
markets are unundated with information. From all this information how can one make sense of this to see the big financial market picture? Certainly not by reading standard economics textbooks.
The text is designed for a broad readership including students, both undergraduate or postgraduate majoring in economics of finance, practitioners in the markets seeking a fresh insight into what is going on around them every day, and for newcomers to the financial markets who need a clear perspective on all the daily ups and downs in the markets. To repeat, these objectives are not achieved by reading the existing literature.
The text takes the US economy as its frame of reference. This is based on the fact that the sheer size of the US economy in the world financial markets is so large that it dwarfs most other financial market places. Also the domination of the US dollar as the world’s global currency means that what moves the dollar basically moves all the other financial markets, and clearly whatever can move the value of the dollar has to be understood.
However the text is just as relevant to readers operating in other financial markets, as once they understand the economic implications of changes in the US financial market place they can easily see the implications for their own domestic economy.
