Fortunately, the Yearbook database meets this test with 109 years of data for 17 countries that together represent some 90% of world stock market value. The last decade has been the

1953 Dear Ste Croix: I am most appreciative of your interest in my difficulties and in my work. The Rutgers story is a long one. Rather than try to tell it in a letter, I have mailed to you by regular mail two documents which should give you a pretty good picture.
