Abstract:
It is easy to imagine that the present,yesterday’s tomorrow was always the future expected in the past. Yet, what we now accept as the normal state of affairs, the present was not the only possible outcome that could have come to pass nor was it often the most commonly expected one.  What is now considered "inevitable" –when viewed from the vantage point of 20/20 hindsight—was often not immediately embraced or accepted.  In order to understand where we are going it is important to understand where we have been and how we got there.  I will discuss some past visions of the future of financial markets, in general, and derivative markets, in particular, as seen by academics, practitioners and policymakers at various points in time.  
 
There are few advantages of age but one of them is the opportunity to witness changes and remember the contemporary context in which they occurred.  I have been fortunate to have had a catbird seat to observe some of the important changes in financial markets; first as a student of finance, and later with service: at a regulator; at an exchange; as a trader; in academia.  I will draw upon some of my recollections and personal experiences in the discussion that follows.?
