Summary

This book peels away the mystique of high finance to take the reader deeply into the planning, plotting, cajoling and sheer hard work that characterised the struggle which brought this country a sophisticated, efficient electronic share-trading system (SEATS), a national stock exchange (ASX), a world-class electronic system for settling share transacations (CHESS) and uniform, national legislation underpinning a national securities market.
