What is "black money"

Black Money is a novel by US American mystery writer Ross Macdonald. Published in 1966, it is, according to Matthew Bruccoli and other critics, among the most powerful of all Ross Macdonald's novels. It was his own personal choice as his best book.

Black money is income earned surreptitiously or illegally, usually in cash, and not reported to the government so as to avoid paying taxes on it.

Black money may also refer to:

• Black Money, a novel by Ross Macdonald
• "Black Money", an early 1980s U.K. single by Culture Club (by way of romantic/aspirational analogy, the song thematically refers to surreptitiously earned income)
• Black money scam, a confidence trick
