Opis

This study examines the stages by which share trading in the United Kingdom came to be a statutorily regulated activity and by which the London Stock Exchange moved from being antagonistic towards public regulation in 1914 to lobbying in 1944 for the new scheme to be implemented.

Recenzje

'Regulation of the London Stock Exchange is a colourful and carefully researched account of the activities of unscrupulous and sometimes notoriously fraudulent share dealers and the often-conflicting attempts of Stock Exchange and Government to balance independence and public interest protection.' — Professor Steven Toms, University of Leeds.
