- Title
Automating Finance: Infrastructures, Engineers, and the Making of Electronic Markets. By Juan Pablo Pardo-Guerra.

- Abstract
But, like the trading floor before it, jobbers still competed to give the best prices (which were highlighted in yellow on the screen) and trading was not yet fully anonymized: a firm's initials were linked to the prices they offered. Pardo-Guerra's account begins in the late nineteenth century by highlighting two key aspects of the London Stock Exchange's market structure: the role of jobbers and the importance of settlement. Even then, the London Stock Exchange only relented in the face of competition from an outside exchange called Tradepoint that had been founded by former London Stock Exchange engineers.
