Despite a widespread general interest in the topic, there are relatively few historical treatments of equity security valuation available that conform to academic standards. Equity Capital looks to address this imbalance in the literature by presenting historical approaches to the valuation of equity securities, from ancient times, to the emergence of tradeable equity claims in the 1600s, to Securities Act and Securities and Exchange Act in the 1930s, and into the modern era. This book provides material relevant for academic presentations of equity valuation history and methods, and is targeted at researchers, academics, students and professionals alike
