Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Benefiting from unrivalled access to its archives, Professor Michie explores the changes that have taken place throughout the history of the London Stock Exchange and reveals the profound implications of these changes not only for the Stock Exchange itself, but also for the relationship between the government and the securities market. Complete with an introduction by Sir Nicholas Goodison, former Chairman of the Stock Exchange, this book provides an invaluable insight into the way Britain's financial system has evolved over the centuries and the role it has played both at home and abroad.
MoreLong description:
In 2001, the London Stock Exchange will be 200 years old, though its origins go back a century before that. This book traces the history of the London Stock Exchange from its beginnings around 1700 to the present day, chronicling the challenges and opportunities it has faced, avoided, or exploited over the years.
Throughout, the history seeks to blend an understanding of the London Stock Exchange as an institution with that of the securities market of which it was - and is - such an important component. One cannot be examined satisfactorily without the other. Without a knowledge of both, for example, the causes of the 'Big Bang' of 1986 would forever remain a mystery. However, the history of the London Stock Exchange is not just worthy of study for what it reveals about the interaction between institution and market. Such was the importance of the London Stock Exchange that its rise to world dominance before 1914, its decline thereafter, and its renaissance from the mid-1980s, explain a great deal about Britain's own economic performance and the working of the international economy.
For the first time a British economic institution of foremost importance is studied throughout its entire history, with regard to the roles played and the constraints under which it operated, and the results evaluated against the background of world economic progress.
Michie offers a richly detailed and well-documented narrative, written in cogent prose and intermittently enlivened with understated wit ... Michie's impressive book now sets the standard. Anyone with an interest in English financial development or corporate history will find his book to be of value.
