What You Need to Know about Business, Money, and Power

British political economist Kidron and political writer Segal (coauthors of The New State of the World Atlas offer a crash course on world finance. They write briskly (and often with humor) about stocks, futures, managerial strategies, corporate politics, employment levels, the World Bank, international economies, the money market, major companies and more. And because ""much of business is conducted as a game with rules,'' they offer for instruction several games to play, including Make or Break, Managerial Snakes and Ladders, Kleptocracy and Servopoly. The authors aim for ``selective insights'' rather than comprehensive details, and their pertinent observations are bolstered by colorful charts, diagrams and cartoon illustrations. This is practical information presented in an appealing manner. (May)
