A history of the Rhodesian Stock Exchange : the formative years, 1946-1952
This study attempts to fill the gap in the literature by tracing the history and operations of the Rhodesia Stock Exchange (RSE) between its establislunent in 1946 and 1952, shortly before the birth of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland in 1953 when different dynamics came into play. It examines why and how the RSE was formed and documents its early history, as well as investigating the role and impact of the local bourse in the economy. The study is divided into three sections. The first section examines the origins of the RSE and analyses the internal organisation of the Exchange, while the second gives an analysis of the RSE's operations and its influence on economic development between 1946 and 1952. Finally the conclusion assesses the RSE's role and performance and highlights some theoretical issues emerging from the study's findings.
