The Penguin Dictionary of Economics
Eighth Edition
Graham Bannock & R. E. Baxter
The Penguin Dictionary of Economics explains a host of economic terms, from
acceleration principle to venture capital, Euro to X-efficiency, globalisation to zero-sum game.
The eighth edition has been fully revised and updated to include those terms that have
become so familiar since the global recession begun (“quantitative easing” and “prime”
among them,) but whose meanings escape most of us. Wide-ranging and accessible, this
detailed practical and international guide will be indispensable for students of economics
and professionals (in business, finance or the public sector,) and for anyone wishing to follow
economic discussions in the media today.

Chutnefying English
The Phenomenon of Hinglish
Rita Kothari and Rupert Snell
Something has happened to English; and something has happened to Hindi. These
two languages, widely spoken across India, need to be understood anew through their
“hybridization” into Hinglish—a mixture of Hindi and English that has begun to make itself
heard everywhere—from daily conversation to news, films, advertisements and blogs.
Chutnefying English: The Phenomenon of Hinglish, addresses the questions that many
speakers of both languages ask time and again: should Hinglish be spurned as the bastard
offspring of its two parent languages, or welcomed as the natural and legitimate result of
their long-term cohabitation? Leading scholars from literature, cultural studies, translation,
cinema, and new media come together to offer a collection of essays that is refreshingly new
in thought and content.
