the legendary Edith Cavell, a British nurse whose duties as a
healer clashed with the demands of a ruthless occupying regime

key link in the rescuing of Allied soldiers separated from their
units. For nine months, this quiet, religious nurse went about
saving over a thousand soldiers under the very noses of the German
command.

It is difficult to imagine financial markets without a state
regulator. But it was not so long ago that financial markets in
Britain developed their own regulation, without government
intervention. This monograph examines the economic case for a
statutory regulator of investment transactions and finds it
wanting. Private stock exchanges can provide regulation at less
cost and less intrusively than the FSA.
