| Why it’s on the list | An insider account of the 2007 merger of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and the Chicago Board of Trade — the deal that created the world’s largest derivatives exchange — by a banker who worked the CBOT side while the Intercontinental Exchange ran a competing bid, at the moment electronic trading was rendering the pits obsolete. |
