Flinging open the doors of change
In a land as wedded to tradition as the UK, it is hardly surprising that its principal securities market, the London Stock Exchange, has seldom distinguished itself as a crucible for new ideas and innovation. From its earliest coffee house days in the 18th century, the exchange has always managed to exude an aura of comfortable exclusivity and its popular image has been one of easy money and the right social connections.
While continuity against such a background makes for political stability and confidence, it also breeds complacency and a resistance to change.
