Book excerpt: There are many strange phenomena in the world of business and finance. We discover many curious things, comic and contentious that are not all explained by conventional finance or economic theory rather they follow the rules of antilogic. Financial practitioners have been attempting to quantify, monitor and control financial risk and yet, in spite of modern quantitative analysis and highly sophisticated modelling techniques they are no more successful in this than in the past - the world of finance and business just doesn't add up. This highly controversial and thought provoking book, written in a light and humorous style will not only entertain but also challenge readers to question conventional wisdom. This book provides a clear look at the antilogic of the business world and financial markets. It describes the background conditions that encourage the creation of antilogic and demonstrates how business personalities generate the antilogic concept. Shows the antilogic created by accountants and looks at the role of cash and makes the discovery that much of antilogic stems from accepting as money, something different which is defined in the book as Vapourcash and Anticash
