'Professor Barnes's book has made an important contribution to how we think about stock market efficiency by questioning the ECMH hypothesis and tracing the history of financial bubbles and manias, as well as by providing useful insights regarding how financial bubbles can be caused by market manipulation and other types of market abuse. He also significantly reminds us that insider dealing is not a victimless crime and that it is both a manifestation of inefficient markets and a considerable corporate governance problem for companies. This book will be read with much interest by economists, lawyers and market participants, and provides a framework for how we should think about building a more efficient and fair stock market.' King's Law Journal 'This book is intended to stimulate thought and discussion among its readership of lawyers, businessmen and market professionals ... although specialised in this respect, it did cover essential points...'
