was introduced in Russia in the early 90's by some western lawyer, who "did not know what he/she was talking about" since Blacks Law Dictionary defines joint stock company as an unincorporated association, precisely the opposite of what it really is.

................................................ I have it in this dictionary:
Reuters Glossary of International Economic and Financial Terms. Heinemann: London. The Russian edition: Ìîñêâà "Ôèíàíñû è ñòàòèñòèêà" 1987. Page 60:
joint stock company â Âåëèêîáðèòàíèè  - àêöèîíåðíàÿ êîìïàíèÿ èëè áàíê ñ îãðàíè÷åííîé îòâåòñòâåííîñòüþ / íîâ. íàçâ.  public limited company - íàðîäíàÿ êîìïàíèÿ ñ îãðàíè÷åííîé îòâåòñòâåííîñòüþ. (never heard it to be called like this in Russian, to tell the truth, I mean "narodnaia")
Îòâåòñòâåííîñòü çà ñîäåðæàíèå ñëîâàðÿ ïîëíîñòüþ íåñåò àãåíñòâî Ðåéòåð.(!!!!!!!!!!!)
And there is a list of 11 companies that took part in creating the dictionary. The first one is London Commodity Exchange Co. Ltd. 
New York Stock Exchange is also on the list...
