Ranald Michie, Professor of History, University of Durham

"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
