For the first time, the stock market is treated as a worldwide phenomenon. Terms that are part of the vocabulary of the international stock market, as well as terms specific to particular countries, are all thoroughly and extensively defined to make them comprehensible to the lay person and to the business professional. In addition, there are extended entries that survey individual countries from Argentina to Great Britain, from Italy to Botswana, and from China to the United States. These country surveys offer complete details of the country's stock market, conditions, practices and regulation. They also provide information on the country's leading regulatory agencies, its brokerage firms and its most prominent practitioners. Edited by Michael Sheimo, one of America's leading authorities on Wall Street, and by Andreas Loizou, who has written about business for The Times, The Sunday Times , and The Evening Standard in London , the International Encyclopedia of the Stock Market features contributions from the editorial staffs of the world's stock exchanges and from more than 600 financial experts. This two-volume encyclopedia is a worldwide collaborative effort, unprecedented in its scope, and destined to become the definitive reference book in the field.
