Quote by John Bentley
What is high finance? It?s knowing the difference between one and ten, multiplying, subtracting and adding. You just add noughts. It?s no more than that.
Summary
This quote simplifies the concept of high finance by suggesting that it primarily involves basic mathematical operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and the addition of zeros. It implies that adding zeros (referring to large sums of money) is essentially the key to high finance. The quote implies that there isn't much complexity beyond these calculations, reducing the perception of high finance to a simple understanding of numbers and their manipulation.
