Duden Wirtschaft Von A Bis Z Grundlagenwissen Fur Schule Und Studium Beruf Und Alltag
Duden Wirtschaft Von A Bis Z is the Duden house’s economics lexicon: the foundational knowledge of business and economics — Grundlagenwissen — for school and study, work and everyday life, as its subtitle declares, arranged alphabetically and explained in the clear, authoritative Duden manner.
Economics surrounds everyone who earns, spends, saves, or reads a newspaper, yet its vocabulary — inflation and interest, markets and monopolies, shares, taxes, trade, the welfare state — is a foreign language even in one’s own tongue. This lexicon translates it: thousands of entries defining the terms, sketching the institutions, and connecting the concepts, all in German, for German readers.
It is written, as the subtitle promises, for four audiences at once: pupils meeting economics at school, students who need its concepts defined reliably, professionals refreshing foundations, and citizens who simply want to understand the economic news they live inside.
A subject lexicon earns its keep at the moment of confusion: a term in a textbook, a word in a contract, a concept in the news. Duden’s economics volume answers in its house style — the headword, a crisp definition, the context that makes it usable, and cross-references that turn one answer into a small education. Its coverage runs the discipline’s whole map: micro- and macroeconomics, business administration, money and banking, the labour market, public finance, economic policy, and the institutions of the German and European economies. For learners of German it has a second life: it is a graded reader in disguise — thousands of short, self-contained German explanations of real-world things, each expanding the reader’s German exactly where adult life needs it. School, study, profession, everyday: the subtitle’s four promises are the book’s four daily uses.

About This Book
Duden is Germany’s dictionary authority, and its subject lexicons apply the same discipline to a field’s vocabulary: define everything, assume nothing, cross-reference generously. The economics volume gives school pupils, students, and citizens one reliable place to decode the language in which their economic lives are conducted.
What Readers Will Find
The Vocabulary of Economics
Entries across the discipline: markets and competition, supply and demand, money, credit and interest, shares and the stock exchange, insurance, taxes and the state budget, trade and globalisation, unemployment and growth — the conceptual furniture of every economics course and every financial page.
Institutions Explained
The bodies that run economic life, defined as carefully as the terms: central banks, ministries, unions and employers’ federations, the European institutions — what they are, what they do, why they matter, in the concise Duden form.
Connections by Cross-Reference
Economics is a web, and the lexicon maps it: every entry points onward to its relatives, so a reader who arrives for one definition leaves understanding a system — the habit that turns a reference book into a teacher.
Key Features
Authority is the feature: Duden definitions, reliable enough to cite in school and study. Comprehensiveness within one alphabetical sequence is the second — no prior knowledge assumed, no term too basic or too technical — and the four-audience design the third: the same entry serves the pupil’s homework, the student’s revision, and the citizen’s newspaper.
Who This Book Is For
It is for German school pupils and university students of economics and business, professionals who want their foundations explicit, journalists’ readers and citizens decoding economic news, and advanced learners of German building the vocabulary of adult public life.
How to Use This Book
Use it in the moment of need: look the term up when it blocks you, read the entry fully, and follow one cross-reference — that small detour is where understanding compounds. Students should raid it before examinations to verify definitions against the authoritative wording, and language learners can read it in sequences (all the banking entries, all the labour-market entries) as themed German reading with real-world profit.
