Minor wear to blue endpapers and color transfer to end pages. Foreword by Dean LeBaron. From the Back Cover -- Financial frontiersman In the early 1950s many called financial markets in particular stock markets a form of Wild West. And the farther away from home the wilder they could be. This book provides a front row account of the unimaginable makeover of our financial system since the Second World War. As a young inexperienced investment banker in Canada David Gill's bosses considered his ideas and schemes "wild" . and the same when he had an opportunity to put the lessons of those early years into practice in Washington DC as an international bureaucrat. It turned out that the conventional ideas missed the point of the massive changes that were underway in which the "frontier" went from irrelevant periphery to critical mainstream. In the words of Dean Acheson David felt lucky to be "present at the creation" and have the opportunity to see the experiments and initiatives he undertook at the International Finance Corporation IFC come to fruition. This is about the reengineering of the financial world; about the people involved; about the struggle against the many supporters of the status quo in many countries and markets; and about David's perspective and role in all of this.
