Zusammenfassung:This book examines the regulation of the earliest securities markets in England and the United States, from their origins in the 1690s until the 1850s. Stuart Banner argues that by the reign of Queen Anne a complex and moderately effective body of regulatory control was already extant, reflecting widespread English (and later American) attitudes toward securities speculation. He uses both traditional legal materials (including court opinions, statutes and legal treatises) as well as a broad range of non-legal sources (novels, broadsides, engravings) to examine contemporary images of stock markets and speculation practices, and he shows that securities regulation has a much longer ancestry than is often supposed.
