The Influence Of Securities Regulation Upon Standards Of Corporation Financing, Forrest B. Ashby
Michigan Law Review
During the first years of the present century both promotional and manipulative swindling in connection with stocks and bonds flourished in the face of the obsolescent and poorly enforced fraud laws which were administered by prosecutors and courts inexperienced in corporate finance.
