to another; even countries as geographically and historically tied as the
United Kingdom and France show significant differences due to diverging
legal traditions, for example. Second, there are differences in perspective
depending on what part of the industry to which one is exposed; the
industry appears very different to those who are operating in different
spheres and attempting to accomplish different tasks. Finally, the tendency
is for actors operating in one part of the capital markets ecosystem to
expand into other parts of the ecosystem, blurring boundaries and
definitions as they go.
The start of this chapter presents a simplified version of the ecosystem
that depicts each part as entirely separate, but as each division is explained,
