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. Professor Banner argues that during the
reign of Queen Anne a complex and moderately effective body of
regulatory control was already extant, reflecting widespread
Anglo-American attitudes toward securities speculation. He uses
both traditional legal materials (including court opinions,
statutes, and legal treatises) and as a broad range of non-legal
sources (novels, broadsides, contemporary 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. Insights from both legal and cultural history
are utilised to explain how popular thought about the securities
market was translated into regulation and, reciprocally, how that
regulation influenced market structures and the activities of
speculators.
