GEM of an idea for the modern market-place

Article Abstract:

Detailed plans for the UK government to establish a legal framework and technological infrastructure for guaranteed electronic markets (GEMs) are contained in Wingham Rowan's book 'Net Benefit.' GEMs would run alongside ordinary electronic commerce, but disintermediation would mean that they would be less expensive. Rowan believes that GEMs would abolish the dominant position of large businesses, with all participants having to reach minimum quality and reliability standards.
