Told from the perspective of the legendary Nicholas von Hoffman, it is catty, sharp, funny, mean and informative. Arranged alphabetically, from "Abacus" to "Zukor, Adlph" the dictionary elucidates the business world from top to bottom, from the ancient world to the present. The Devil's Dictionary of Business is an ideal gift for your stockbroker, bank manager, loan shark or that anticapitalist, Starbucks-bashing cousin of yours, all of whom will enjoy von Hoffman's sardonic and dizzying tour of mammon. | | | |

Funny and Irreverant but With Germs of Truth Sep 16, 2005
By John Matlock
"Gunny"
When you learn that a dictionary that defines Capitalism as 'The name of a religion based on the worship of money' you have a pretty good idea about what to expect. This is a highly irreverant look at the business world in the form of a dictionary.
It's one of those dictionaries that you don't look up things so much as read from front back. Mr. Von Hoffman is a journalist who has worked for several of the countries largest newspapers and then gotten fired. He now pens columns for the New York Observer, and has written some thirteen books, several plays and more. He clearly understands the business world and has produced definitions in this book which are amusing, but which also contain germs of truth. This is a very amusing book, and has a blast looking at the underneath of American business.
