The Transformation of Wall Street: A History of the Securities and Exchange Commission and Modern Corporate Finance
First published in 1982, this revised edition provides an updated history of the SEC and its relationship to corporate finance covering the period from the 1929-1932 stock market crash, which led to the agency's creation in 1934, to the end of the Nixon-Ford presidential administration early in 1977. Seligman (Dean, U. of Arizona College of Law) focuses on the many complex determinants of Commission policy, both during the SEC's highly regarded New Deal period and during the post-WWII period, when the quality of the agency's performance was more erratic.
