Overview

The Inkwell Dictionary of Business and Economics contains articles covering the fields of business, industry, entrepreneurship, finance, and economics. In all, this volume contains 102 entries, from ""absolute advantage"" to ""zombie company."" Each entry consists of three sections. The first section discursively defines the term or phrase under consideration. The second section provides a complete etymology of each entry. We provide an unusually full etymology for a dictionary of this type in the conviction that knowing the history of an idea and of the terminology through which it is expressed promotes a more fully rounded understanding. Finally, the third section discusses the manner and the circumstances in which the entry is used in practice. James A. Barham, a consulting editor with Inkwell Press, was born in Dallas, Texas, in 1952. He holds a bachelor's degree in classics from the University of Texas at Austin, a master's degree in the history of science from Harvard University, and a doctorate in the history and philosophy of science from the University of Notre Dame.
