Transforming the financial world—the emergence of the Nasdaq.
10/21/2002
In his new book, Mark Ingebretsen takes a penetrating look at one of the most dynamic stock markets in the world: the Nasdaq. Ingrebretsen, a seasoned journalist covering business and financial subjects, is particularly well equipped to delve into the rich history of this enigmatic and powerful organization. As the first online stock market, Nasdaq has become the symbol of the dynamic high-tech companies that emerged in the 1990s. Ingebretsen takes the reader back to the market's early days as a Depression-era association that tried to oversee trading and fight stock fraud, to the current post-September 11th world. This is an engrossing read for anyone interested in today's financial world and how it developed.
