Recommendation
Professors Donald Crooks, John Slayton and John Burbridge provide an academic overview of the impact of information and communication technologies (ICT) and quantitative techniques on financial markets. Because they cover so much historical and technological detail in a brief report, they do not address any particular aspect in depth or with particular rigor. That said, this overview does touch on salient points in the development of Wall Street and electronic trading, and puts the ICT revolution in its proper context. getAbstract suggests this pocket history to financial executives and managers, business students who want an introduction to the impact of ICT on markets, and those interested in the past saga and future prospects of securities trading.
