Graeme Adamson presents a meticulously researched account of the Melbourne Stock Exchange's founding, its turbulent growth through economic booms and busts, and its transformation into a cornerstone of Australian commerce and capital markets.\n\nAdamson's authoritative narrative illustrates the deep interplay between financial markets and the broader social and economic forces that shaped a nation, revealing how the fortunes of the Exchange mirrored the ambitions, crises, and triumphs of Australia itself. Written with the precision of a historian and the accessibility of a skilled storyteller, this work stands as an indispensable record of institutional memory and economic heritage — leaving the reader to wonder what forces, visible and invisible, continue to drive the engines of financial power today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130807722203,"sku":"2026200012039-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/87f94796-4e2e-40ea-916c-4cd286b75c94.png?v=1786590304","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200012039-secondhand-a-century-of-change-the-first-hundred-years-of-the-stock-exchange-of-melbourne","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
