From Publishers Weekly

The timely question, What caused the current global financial crisis? provokes answers usually aimed at the level of institutions and the more abstract market logic. Ho's refreshing ethnography of the daily lives of Wall Street investment bankers takes another tack and outlines a web of practices, beliefs and structures that may be vital to understanding what keeps the market system in place despite built-in instabilities. Ho, a former business analyst and now an associate professor of anthropology at the University of Minnesota, unpacks constant downsizing, high risk/high reward job liquidity, shortsighted compensation structures, prestige and the ruse of shareholder value. Her keen eye for the significance of space illuminates workplace narratives, e.g., segregating staff by floor, function and prestige; constant and lavish recruiting events at Princeton and Harvard; and anticlimactically tawdry office space for most workers. The author exposes how elite undergraduates are immersed in a culture promoting finance as the only legitimate job, how educational pedigrees reinforce the financial world's self-image—while the actual jobs remain rigidly hierarchical (stratifying women, people of color and non–Ivy League graduates), highly unstable and isolating, encouraging a culture in which making money is the only value.

Review

"We're pretty familiar with the economic rationale for the regime of cost-cutting and downsizing throughout corporate America in recent decades. But Karen Ho's research greatly enriches our understanding of how Wall Street's own peculiar culture of transient relationships and relentless competition has contributed to the shareholder revolution. And, along the way, her interviews and fieldwork offer a very revealing picture of the mind of Wall Street. A fascinating and important book." Doug Henwood, editor of Left Business Observer " Karen Ho has picked an excellent time to publish her fascinating new study...patient ethnographic analysis has produced a fascinating portrait that will be refreshingly novel to most bankers...Ho peppers her account with revealing eyewitness stories...Most fascinating of all is her account of how Wall Street becomes deluded by its own rhetoric about "market efficiency"...I, for one, would vote that Ho's account becomes mandatory reading on any MBA (or investment banking course); if nothing else, it might be more entertaining than the other texts that bankers swallow so uncritically." Gillian Tett, Financial Times, 2nd October 2009

读后感

评分

以人類學角度切入固然很好,可是似乎還沒有充分發揮人類學的威力,仍太受經理主義影響。 說投資銀行家 no strategy,以及用精英文化來合理化自己工作朝不保夕,都挺好。但以此種制度文化來解釋投行對企業造成的種種重組壓力,還是有些中介環節沒說清。 多處糾纏於 "打著追求股...

如果曾经在股票等二级市场上侵泡过,都会感受到,交易的核心就是人性的博弈。 此书角度其实很有趣,是一个人类学博士,进入华尔街一段时间后,写出来的对于华尔街的描述。外界对此评价很高,而我却持有不同意见。 首先本书导言部分太差,正式章节采访过多,那种就像中国财经记...  

评分

书名中的清算指的是经常跟裁员倒闭关联在一起的重组清算,不是结算Settlement。实际上这个书名跟后面副标题中的华尔街关联起来,容易让人误以为是结算。 作者是人类学博士,本书是作者在1998-1999年在华尔街工作期间和之后访问后的人类学田野报告,再加上作者对“股东价值”的...

在这个全球化时代,美国的金融中心华尔街,早已不仅仅是美国的标志和骄傲,更是全世界关注的焦点。华尔街的独特文化与华尔街人的生活,也随之成为了很多企业、很多人争相了解和模仿的标杆。 然而,那些衣着光鲜的华尔街人,却有着另外一个偏僻入里的名字——“走钢丝的幸运儿”...

说起来非常讽刺:想在华尔街混得好,最重要的居然是人际关系。这就揭示了华尔街只要顶级名校生的真实原因。说他们最聪明只是噱头,华尔街真正看中的是人际关系。顶级名校生的人际关系能带来高端客户,创造收益。在采访中,有投行家就直接跟何柔宛说:靠博学多才就能达成交易吗...

当作九十年代初期的华尔街见闻录来看了…作者因其身份便利出发 选的采访对象大都是亚裔 女性 然后自诩为本研究特色…不过看其采访内容却没体现出这一人群的啥特色…但人类真的是很擅长自我辩解的动物…后面的理论部分没看

人类学家,人种学家,来研究华尔街,咋一看,跨界嘛,再一想,啊,华尔街的人和我们已经不是一个人种了!不过这样的混合,确实带来了新的视野和观点,好书!
