Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Capital Market T the risk of being charged with an attempt to rob criticism of its rightful bread, I feel bound to meet in advance an objection which may be made to the general character of this book: the objection, namely, that the convulsive changes of the last six years have so greatly affected the work of the Money Market that they have fundamentally altered the nature of the services it contributes in the economic organization of this country. Yet, when an engine is out of order, the skilled mechanics who are called in to examine and repair it bring with them no new ad hoc set of mechanical principles and the fair-minded patient, though his state of mind argues a world in revolution, recognizes that the principles of physiology have not ceased to operate. The tale runs that an eminent divine, after a decisive defeat of his party in the House of Commons, returned home and planted mustard and cress in his garden. Not long after he was able to assure his friends that, crushing as had been their political defeat, the herbs had nevertheless come up in much the usual way. It may be that they would grow now in the garden of the Bank of England, or even in a land reshaped to the lives of heroes. It is true that the war has loosened ideas, has released influences hitherto held in check by a sense of the inherent unalterableness of things, and by so doing has modified our general conceptions of the true relations among members of a modern society: in particular the relations between rich and poor, and between master and man. But the economic centre of the social organization has surely not greatly changed. Much the same impulses and much the same needs govern the adjustment of economic resources to economic ends; the long chains of processes through which materials pass on their way from the soil to the consumer are much the same as they were, though their operation is disturbed by an additional set of difficulties introduced by the war. This seems to be especially true in those inner and strictly business processes with which the Money Market is concerned. The banks still supply the means of effecting payments in the form of a cheque currency of unrivalled efficiency; they and the Issue Houses still collect capital from points of plenty and carry it to points of scarcity the company promoter, in the old extravagant way, still supplies business ability with the resources required to give it scope severe alternations of economic activity and stagna tion still arise from infectious changes of confidence on the part of the business men to whom society still entrusts the administration of its resources. Broadly speaking, the same principles of action lead to the same social economies and the same social wastes, though they work themselves out with less sureness and precision in face of the greater uncertainty which in present conditions affects all business adjustments.

Download or read book Darkness by Design written by Walter Mattli and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-06-08 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Capital markets have undergone a dramatic transformation in the past two decades. Algorithmic high-speed supercomputing has replaced traditional floor trading and human market makers, while centralized exchanges that once ensured fairness and transparency have fragmented into a dizzying array of competing exchanges and trading platforms. Darkness by Design exposes the unseen perils of market fragmentation and 'dark' markets, some of which are deliberately designed to enable the transfer of wealth from the weak to the powerful. Walter Mattli traces the fall of the traditional exchange model of the NYSE, the world's leading stock market in the twentieth century, showing how it has come to be supplanted by fragmented markets whose governance is frequently set up to allow unscrupulous operators to exploit conflicts of interest at the expense of an unsuspecting public. Market makers have few obligations, market surveillance is neglected or impossible, enforcement is ineffective, and new technologies are not necessarily used to improve oversight but to offer lucrative preferential market access to select clients in ways that are often hidden. Mattli argues that power politics is central in today's fragmented markets. He sheds critical light on how the redistribution of power and influence has created new winners and losers in capital markets and lays the groundwork for sensible reforms to combat shady trading schemes and reclaim these markets for the long-term benefit of everyone. Essential reading for anyone with money in the stock market, Darkness by Design challenges the conventional view of markets and reveals the troubling implications of unchecked market power for the health of the global economy and society as a whole"--

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Capital Markets and the New Economy The subcommittee met, pursuant to call, at 10:00 a.m., in room 2128, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. Richard H. Baker, [chairman of the subcommittee], presiding. Present: Chairman Baker; Representatives Lucas, Biggert, Terry, Toomey, Kanjorski, Bentsen, C. Maloney of New York, J. Maloney of Connecticut, Capuano, and Waters. Chairman Baker. I would like to call this hearing of our Capital Markets, Securities and Government Sponsored Enterprises Subcommittee to order and note that we do have several Members who have indicated they arc on their way and they should be here momentarily. I would like to express my appreciation to all of our witnesses who will appear during the course of the hearing this morning for their attendance, given the length of notice that was provided, particularly to those of our first panel. I appreciate your courtesy in appearing here today. In response to inquiries from a number of the media, and I am sure our first panel will also be appreciative, there will not be discussion of any matters related to Government-sponsored enterprises during the course of this hearing today for the public record. It is, however, to discuss the ramifications of proposed regulations pursuant to the passage of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of this Congress. Certainly, every Member of Congress was greatly relieved, after two decades of very difficult work, to see the passage of this important legislation and hoped that it would not only reconcile disputes of long-standing proportion, but, as well, create new opportunities for business expansion for creation of employment opportunities and better service to consumers. Our reason for conducting the hearing today is to understand more fully the implications of the proposed regulation and to ensure that the two-way street that the Congress envisioned being constructed will not be limited to a one-way street or, perhaps worse, converted to a parking lot.

Download or read book The New Stock Market written by Merritt B. Fox and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-08 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. stock market has been transformed over the last twenty-five years. Once a market in which human beings traded at human speeds, it is now an electronic market pervaded by algorithmic trading, conducted at speeds nearing that of light. High-frequency traders participate in a large portion of all transactions, and a significant minority of all trade occurs on alternative trading systems known as “dark pools.” These developments have been widely criticized, but there is no consensus on the best regulatory response to these dramatic changes. The New Stock Market offers a comprehensive new look at how these markets work, how they fail, and how they should be regulated. Merritt B. Fox, Lawrence R. Glosten, and Gabriel V. Rauterberg describe stock markets’ institutions and regulatory architecture. They draw on the informational paradigm of microstructure economics to highlight the crucial role of information asymmetries and adverse selection in explaining market behavior, while examining a wide variety of developments in market practices and participants. The result is a compelling account of the stock market’s regulatory framework, fundamental institutions, and economic dynamics, combined with an assessment of its various controversies. The New Stock Market covers a wide range of issues including the practices of high-frequency traders, insider trading, manipulation, short selling, broker-dealer practices, and trading venue fees and rebates. The book illuminates both the existing regulatory structure of our equity trading markets and how we can improve it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective decision making requires understanding of the underlying principles of financial markets and economics. Intellectually, economics and financial markets are genetically intertwined although when it comes to popular commentary they are treated separately. In fact, academic economic thinking appears separate from financial market equity strategy in most financial market commentary. Historically, macroeconomics tended to assume away financial frictions and financial intermediation whereas financial economists did not necessarily consider the negative macroeconomic spill overs from financial market outcomes. In more recent years, the economic discipline has gone through a serious self-reflection after the global crisis. This book explores the interplay between financial markets and macroeconomic outcomes with a conceptual framework that combines the actions of investors and individuals. Of interest to graduate students and those professionals working in the financial markets, it provides insight into why market prices move and credit markets interact and what factors participants and policy makers can monitor to anticipate market change and future price paths. ​

Download or read book Capitalism without Capital written by Jonathan Haskel and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-10-16 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early in the twenty-first century, a quiet revolution occurred. For the first time, the major developed economies began to invest more in intangible assets, like design, branding, and software, than in tangible assets, like machinery, buildings, and computers. For all sorts of businesses, the ability to deploy assets that one can neither see nor touch is increasingly the main source of long-term success. But this is not just a familiar story of the so-called new economy. Capitalism without Capital shows that the growing importance of intangible assets has also played a role in some of the larger economic changes of the past decade, including the growth in economic inequality and the stagnation of productivity. Jonathan Haskel and Stian Westlake explore the unusual economic characteristics of intangible investment and discuss how an economy rich in intangibles is fundamentally different from one based on tangibles. Capitalism without Capital concludes by outlining how managers, investors, and policymakers can exploit the characteristics of an intangible age to grow their businesses, portfolios, and economies.

Download or read book The Origins of Europe s New Stock Markets written by Elliot Posner and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-02-15 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1995 and 2007, financial elites in more than a dozen western European countries engaged in a cross-border battle to create some twenty new stock markets, many of which were explicitly modeled on the American Nasdaq. The resulting high-risk, high-reward markets facilitated wealth creation, rewarded venture capitalists, and drew major U.S. financial players to Europe. But they also chipped away at the European social compacts between national governments and citizens, opening the door of smaller company finance to the broad trend of marketization and its bounties, and further subjecting European households and family businesses to the rhythms of global capital. Elliot Posner explores the causes of Europe’s emergence as a global financial power, addressing classic and new questions about the origins of markets and their relationship to politics and bureaucracy. In doing so, he attributes the surprising large-scale transformation of Europe’s capital markets to the rise of the European Union as a global political force. The effect of Europe’s financial ascendance will have major ramifications around the world, and Posner’s analysis will push market participants, policymakers, and academics to rethink the sources of financial change in Europe and beyond.

Download or read book Beyond the Debt Crisis written by Donald R. Lessard and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-23 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Beyond the Debt Crisis: Alternative Forms of Financing Growth The financing requirements of developing countries are small relative to the size of world capital markets. Even an ambitious figure of $20 billion a year is less than 10 percent of the current net debt financing provided by oecd markets and institutions. Individual countries face a virtually elastic supply on the condition that they are able to make credible commitments to meet the terms of their obligations.2 Therefore, tapping new sources of funds should not be expected to increase greatly the potential supply of funds to a particular country. A given country, however, may increase its actual supply of funds (or reduce the degree of debt relief required to put it back on a current basis) by recontracting in a way that shifts the pattern of promised payments across future circumstances and thus expands the range of commitments it can back with credibility. Our focus, therefore, is not on the size of external financial markets or of these markets' potential appetite for LDC assets; rather it is on how commercial alternatives to general obligation finance can increase the actual supply of funds to these countries, reduce the burden imposed by external financing, and improve the performance of the assets financed. We take it as given that the overriding goal of a restructuring a country's obligations and recapitalizing its economy is to restore an acceptable level of growth in the short run and provide the basis for dynamic long-run development involving domestic as well as foreign private interests. The primary reasons for changing not only the amount but also the structure of financing are to. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Capital and Profits The object of this book is to make plain the true function of capital and profits and thereby enable the people to reconstruct their industrial system and not fall into worse evils than those from which they fly. This book also distinguishes between the great movement called socialism and the economic teach ings of Marx or Marxism, which unfortunately have infected the whole socialist party but must not, therefore, be regarded as a necessary element of true socialism. A sane and enlightened socialism is doubtlessly bound to come; but the Marxist economics, in the minds of many, is equally bound to go.

Download or read book Tidal Swings of the Stock Market written by Scribner Browne and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2011-06-07 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To make great money in stock trading, you must not simply follow trends, but anticipate them. (NOTE: This work is a new edition of a classic investing book. It contains material that is all-new and all-original.) This is harder than it sounds. And for short-term traders, I believe, next to impossible. Therefore, the smart thing to do is to follow the long-term trends. That is how average people can build wealth as they work and save, then finally retire with financial freedom. If you have a fortune in stocks, you can read the news about Social Security with peace of mind. Let it go bankrupt! History teaches us that bull markets alternative with bear markets, just as high tides alternate with low tides. However, while we're living through those markets, we're caught up in the dominant emotion of the times. Greed during bull markets (remember thinking that Yahoo or DrKoop.Com just HAD to keep going higher?) Fear during bear markets (remember thinking in March 2009 that we were headed for a 4 or 5,000 Dow?) The markets do go to extremes -- and then they bounce back. And that's the key to making money with stocks. Not in minutes, days, weeks or months, but in years. Scribner Browne was an experienced stock trader, astute market observer and writer for The Magazine of Wall Street. Although his vocabulary is a little old-fashioned, most of his advice applies just as much today as it did in his time. He was quite well aware of the human weaknesses and vulnerabilities of people who sought to become wealthy through the stock market. He lived and wrote before computers, but he realized -- unlike many modern-day "quants" that for every transaction there is a real person buying and another real person selling -- and both of them believe they're the right thing. A lot of stock market commentators talk a lot about the "markets," but Browne didn't forget that's just jargon for referring to all the people who buy and sell stocks. And being people, they buy and sell for emotional reasons. He analyzed the effect of psychology on the markets long before most of us were born. Yet he also maintained that in the long run, the stock market needs good business conditions. He figured out many years ago that the stock market anticipates what is going to happen in the general economy. He discusses the fundamental factors affecting stock market prices, and mentions diversification and asset allocation decades before Harry Markowitz wrote his famous thesis. I can't guarantee you'll become rich just by reading this book. But it's a valuable addition to every investor's library.
