Liquidated pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
Financial collapses--whether of the junk bond market, the Internet bubble, or the highly leveraged housing market--are often explained as the inevitable results of market cycles: What goes up must come down. In Liquidated, Karen Ho punctures the aura of the abstract, all-powerful market to show how financial markets, and particularly booms and busts, are constructed. Through an in-depth investigation into the everyday experiences and ideologies of Wall Street investment bankers, Ho describes how a financially dominant but highly unstable market system is understood, justified, and produced through the restructuring of corporations and the larger economy. Ho, who worked at an investment bank herself, argues that bankers' approaches to financial markets and corporate America are inseparable from the structures and strategies of their workplaces. Her ethnographic analysis of those workplaces is filled with the voices of stressed first-year associates, overworked and alienated analysts, undergraduates eager to be hired, and seasoned managing directors. Recruited from elite universities as "the best and the brightest," investment bankers are socialized into a world of high risk and high reward. They are paid handsomely, with the understanding that they may be let go at any time. Their workplace culture and networks of privilege create the perception that job insecurity builds character and employee liquidity results in smart, efficient business. Based on this culture of liquidity and compensation practices tied to profligate deal-making, Wall Street investment bankers reshape corporate America in their own image. Their mission is the creation of shareholder value, but Ho demonstrates that their practices and assumptions often produce crises instead. By connecting the values and actions of investment bankers to the construction of markets and the restructuring of U.S. corporations, Liquidated reveals the particular culture of Wall Street often obscured by triumphalist readings of capitalist globalization.

第一章:其实就是说通过“名校”的隐秘光环,塑造一种大家都是聪明人的标准,这种单一的聪明标准、违反了多元化、种族平等的政治正确。 第二章还没看完:大致描述了投行的等级制度和如何压榨新人的时间。里头有一个段子说投行6点半给点外卖、8点给报销打车。让我想到了我大互联...
评分如下 “For my daughter and son, Mira and August, in the hope that their generation will see greater socioeconomic equality.” P.S. 很有趣 一些部分八卦风气较重外, 讨论比预想中有深度 叙述显得有点絮絮叨叨
评分店长推荐《清算》 身边好多人即是我的朋友又是我的同事,我们在圈外称自己是酒店大堂,在圈内我们称自己是“搞金融的”,还在对行业前景迷茫吗,看看美籍作家何柔宛的《清算》,刺骨,也许还有点疼,那说明你还不太麻木,要行动起来吗,绩效工具人!这座围城,早已没有了城墙,...
评分全书算上序言等部分有500多页内容。从整体阅读上,虽然书很厚但是内容相当丰富,涵盖了人类学、经济学、金融知识等多方面的探讨。但是我个人认为这本书的中文书名取得不是很恰当。从英文直译过来应该是“清算:关于华尔街的民族志”。并且如果从全文中心思想的角度来看,本书与...
