    Historically, the Netherlands and Great Britian were among the first countries to develop methods of public trading in the 1800's. Until WWI, the London Stock Exchange was the major power in stock trading. After WWI, NYSE became the major market in which to trade, so the USA began to handle international market trading just as it does today. Off the top of my head, Japan has a stock index similar to the USA's system. Most industrialized countries and many emerging countries who are capitalistic at least partially have publicly traded stocks whether at home or abroad. United Nations documents could give you a lot of information on the emerging markets of Africa, Asia, and South America.

    I'm so tired that I forgot to mention the Arab countries. Have relatively small, tightly regulated markets that are based on the USA's. These countries include of Turkey and Israel, Suadi Arabia, Jordan, Kuwait, Egypt, and believe it or not, Iran.
