Playing the Market: Retail Investment and Speculation in Twentieth-Century Britain
Heinemann, Kieran (Independent Scholar, London)
This book explores the distinctively British obsession with investment and speculation. It explains how and why everyday British people increasingly invested, speculated, and gambled in stocks and shares from the outbreak of World War I, over the postwar decades and the Thatcher years, up until the premiership of Tony Blair.
