I read the business section of every paper I read fairly carefully, in addition to the usual mass-media coverage of Forbes, Fortune, BusinessWeek and PRI’s Marketplace. But I don’t have an MBA or business or economics background, so I sometimes seek a little more clarity and need to better understand the language they’re using.

Check out this terrific glossary of business and economic terms. I found it tonight while roaming around one of my favorite sites, theguardian.co.uk.

    About Me

    Former reporter and feature writer for the Globe and Mail, Montreal Gazette and the New York Daily News. Winner of a Canadian National Magazine Award (humor) about -- what else -- my divorce. I've been writing frequently for The New York Times since 1990 on almost any subject you can think of -- yup, I'm a generalist. Author of "Blown Away: American Women and Guns" (Pocket Books 2004). Canadian born, raised and formally educated, I've lived in New York since 1989.
