Preface

Throughout my career in financial services as an author, educator, and sales executive, and president of a broker dealer, I continue to be amazed by the lack of understanding that the average person has about the evolution of our global capital markets ecosystem. This condition, if left unchecked, can easily become untenable and dangerous in our highly regulated, hyperconnected, tech‐saturated world. This book—the first of its kind post–Financial Crisis—will serve as an antidote to this condition. I have assembled the right team—practitioners, academics, and economists—to present clearly in these pages the fundamentals necessary for both professionals and nonprofessionals to learn about what makes up our capital markets ecosystem.

Acknowledgments

First and foremost I wish to single out the driving force behind our literary adventure by expressing my deepest appreciation and unqualified gratitude to our consummate editor in chief, Dr. Sarah Swammy. Through her ability to find, recruit, and sign the best, most qualified authors, combined with her benevolent taskmaster persona and her laser‐like focus on submitting the final drafts well in advance of the original deadlines, she brought to life the vision of this book and ensured the high quality of its contents. She shares with me my belief in the power of thought leadership and motivated the host of talented writers and thinkers to bring this project home with efficiency, speed, and grace. Thank you, Sarah, for your many contributions to this work—chief among them keeping me ahead of schedule.

Specials thanks are due to Alberto Baptiste and Peter Borish. Al got the ball rolling by providing us with key resources early in our progress. He was integral in kicking off this endeavor, enabling us to attract industry leaders as contributors. I am also grateful to Peter for his guidance, insight, and connecting us with the Robin Hood Foundation.

I would also like to express my gratitude to all of my friends and colleagues who shared their experience, market insight, time, and contacts to make this book comprehensive and successful: Joe Gaziano, Larry Harris, Ron Hooey, Joe Keenan, Dena Mandara, Lenny Scotto, and Sam Schwartzman.
