Equity Capital looks to address this imbalance in the literature by presenting historical approaches to the valuation of equity securities, from ancient times, to the emergence of tradeable equity claims in the 1600s, to Securities Act and Securities and Exchange Act in the 1930s, and into the modern era. This book provides material relevant for academic presentations of equity valuation history and methods, and is targeted at researchers, academics, students and professionals alike. 410 0$aRoutledge international studies in business history ;$v32. 606 $aStocks$xHistory 606 $aStock exchanges$xHistory 606 $aFinance$xHistory 606 $aInvestments$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aStocks$xHistory. 615 0$aStock exchanges$xHistory. 615 0$aFinance$xHistory. 615 0$aInvestments$xLaw and legislation. 676 $a332/.0415 676 $a332.0415 700 $aPoitras$b Geoffrey$f1954-,$0146981 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827646303321 996 $aEquity capital$93981254 997 $aUNINA
