Review:

"As impressive a collection of pithy summaries and explanations as can be found, an admirably comprehensive book." -- The Business Economist

"It furthers Rutherford's hopes that the dictionary is `a solace for the perplexed, a guide for the scholar and a map of a new terrain for the general reader.' Recommended for all libraries serving readers of international economic news." -- Choice

"The terms are concisely and accurately defined, or rather described and elucidated, with an unhesitating use of formulae and diagrams when appropriate . . . invaluable for the general reader of financial and economic journalism. the 5,000-odd entries are very well cross-referenced and meticulously alphabetised. A special word of praise is due for the biographical entries. The work is up-to-date, without neglecting the relevant history of the subject. . . . The author is to be congratulated." -- Library Association Record
