Financial jargon is needlessly complicated, so I've written the book in an accessible, explanatory tone, with key terms defined in the text and in the glossary, for easy reference. … It is my belief that the financial sector is not nearly as sophisticated, necessary, or beneficial as it would have us believe; the mechanisms of wealth extraction are actually quite simple, and a healthy dose of disrespect is well earned.

SEED: The stance that financial complexity is deliberately manufactured could frame an essay exposing 'jargon as gatekeeping' across industries.
