From the Publisher
AMEX is the fascinating history of the American Stock Exchange, the nation's second largest organized securities complex, from its inception in 1921 to 1971. It begins when the curbstone brokers, AMEX's predecessors, moved indoors and began trading at the New York Curb Market. For the first time, the story is told of the contest among the Big Board, the Curb, and the almost-forgotten Consolidated Stock Exchange. It traces the bull and bear market pitfalls, the political infighting that nearly caused its dissolution, and the reforms that saved the institution.
