Notes:

Deals with the concept of venture capital and its market where there is 'recognised to be significant risk'. Considers this in the nineteenth century from the perspective of 'a sequence of types of financial institutions that were invented or evolved to cope with venture capital institutions' - merchant banks; company promoters and speculators; exploration companies; investment trusts; investment groups. Considers these in the context of South Africa in the 19th century
