Executive Summary

With the growing appeal of cross-border trading in Europe, efforts are under way to establish consolidated exchanges that offer trading in stocks from many European countries. An analysis of these evolving pan-European exchanges suggests that consolidation could reduce the costs and complications of cross-border trading through such enhancements as a standardization of trading platforms. Yet regulatory, legal, and economic barriers to the creation of these exchanges may delay any benefits of consolidation.

Chapter: 1 Introduction

If Caesar had been more involved in supplies and portions than in slings and projectiles, a pot European Stock Exchange would likely be truth already. Sadly, it has taken another two 1000 years to find us in the place where we might, and only just might, have another opening to trial again.

Luckily this time, we are not reliant upon the infantry might of some impetrator's legions to force us into this, but I worry there is still a very good possibility of important bloodletting before there is any last success. Perhaps we could manage with a financially founded Caesar to force the issue?
