How To Understand Finance At Work: Grolier Business Library
In this climate of great economic change there is a need for a 'bangup-to-date' book on finance, which is accessible even to people who normally avoid the subject. A book which can really claim to be up-to-date must recognise and provide for the profound changes which are taking place in the way human welfare is funded not only in the UK but throughout the industrialised world. More people are going to have to stand on their own feet.Increasingly, welfare services previously provided by the state and funded throught taxation will become funded on the basis of risk for profit in the private sector. This will require increased financial awareness among the population, as more and more people fund their existance by their own enterprise, and as almost every conceivable public service, once managed by the state, has to take responsibility for itself. It's not only knowledge and skills which must be quickly learned. Attitudes, too, must change. Long-standing institutional attitudes, appropriate for conditions of the past, must now be discarded faster than they were acquired, as the circumstances for which they were appropriate are disappearing overnight. Consequently, this book targets financial attitudes, too. It reveals the real meanings and rationale underlying the obsolete and the newly emerging financial values and arrangements.
