The Nasdaq Handbook: The Stock Market for the Next 100 Years, 1992, should not be confused with The Nasdaq Handbook: The Stock Market of Tomorrow - Today, 1987. Neither has much practical use today, but may be of some historical interest. Both were marketing tools, designed to sell Nasdaq to the investing public, brokers, etc. Nasdaq is now a big player, and doesn't need this sort of help.

I did find Chapter 15 interesting: Screen-Based Trading and the Globalization of Markets. This was leading edge technology before the internet. Today, anyone can do it. That chapter was written by Bernard L. Madoff. At the time, Madoff was chairman of the board of directors of Nasdaq, Inc.
