This history of the global securities market is the product of over 30 years of research by one of the world's foremost financial historians. It covers all aspects of the history of the securities markets from its beginnings in Medieval Venice through Amsterdam and London to its operations in Tokyo and New York today. It also integrates the history of both stocks and bonds, established and emerging markets, stock exchanges and over-the- counter trading, and the crises and continuity that have made the global securities market such a force in the world over the centuries. A path-breaking book unlike any other written before, it provides in one volume an authoritative account of the global securities market from its earliest developments to the present day.
a remarkable feat of research, synthesis and clear exposition Contemporary historians will be indebted to Michie for bringing order to the bewilderingly rapid changes since 1970. But this is a book for all financial historians. It deserves a place in their libraries, as well as on the reading lists of every student of financial history and the international economy. * Financial History Review *
No one is better qualified than Ranald Michie to write a history of the global securities market that has emerged with stunning rapidity since 1990 and which shows no signs of abating to date. * The Economic History Review *
