- This book, partly funded by a Leverhulme grant, looks at the 'plumbing of the economy'. The empirical research is based on substantive NYSE archives and on numerous interviews with insiders. It is at the cutting edge of IPE problems.It looks at market exchanges themselves and how they have evolved. Its great insight is to see markets and the actual exchanges themselves as political institutions and the core of the book is the story of how large banks and brokerage houses refashioned the market (in this case the NYSE) to better reflect their interests. This book may have real policy impact.
