Never have financial markets been subjected to a period of change
as rapid and extensive as took place from the 1970s onwards. In the
1970s global financial markets were controlled by governments,
compartmentalized along national boundaries, and segregated
according to the particular activities they engaged in. This all
disintegrated in the decades that followed under the pressure of
market forces, global integration, and a revolution in the
technology of trading. One product of this transformation was the
Global Financial Crisis of 2008, which exposed the fragility of the
new structures created and cast a long shadow that we still live in
today. The response to that crisis has shaped the global financial
system, which has been tested once again by the coronavirus
pandemic. However, none of the outcomes of this transformation were
inevitable, despite the forces at work. They were the product of
decisions taken at the time for a multitude of reasons. Banks,
exchanges, and regulators were faced with unprecedented challenges
and opportunities as a revolution swept away traditional ways of
conducting banking, the methods used to trade in financial markets,
and the rules and regulations employed to enforce discipline. In
this book Ranald C. Michie provides an authoritative and unrivalled
account of this upheaval based on a careful and exhaustive reading
of the Financial Times over the last four decades, using it to
provide a source of material unmatched by any other in terms of
depth and coverage. By studying what happened and why in real time,
it is possible to explain the decisions taken that shaped the
course of the transformation and its repercussions.
