  • The Cost of Capital is the rare money book that knows which country it is in.

Eleven years in treasury at two Nigerian banks, then a decade explaining to founders what their money actually costs. The Cost of Capital is the book she wishes had existed.

She writes short. The Quiet Part is under two hundred pages and she considers that a feature.

    The FX chapter should be required reading

    I raised in dollars and priced in naira and this book explains, with numbers, exactly why that hurt. I wish I had read it two years earlier.

    Dense but worth it

    Not a beach read. Bring a calculator to chapter six. Everything in it is useful though, which is rare in this genre.
