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

具體描述

讀後感

評分

評分

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...  

評分

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...  

評分

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...  

評分

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

A not so pleasant perspective of wall street. 順便一提,看來隻要名校齣身,讀人類學一樣可以進投行。

傳說中的華爾街民族誌~每周工作100-110小時是咋活下來的~~

讀完本書可以終結最近的996討論,也終於明白為什麼Hoang會專門在自己書裏單獨cue這本書瞭。從大眾利益與股東收益分離為入手點,說明市場的不穩定性通過華爾街投行自身不斷重塑,而並非完全取決與市場自然波動。進而用insitutional ethnography to explain the take-for-grantedness daily practices of the investment bankers. 在美國金融市場的擴張和全球化的趨勢下,華爾街模式被美國商界適用又進一步推廣到亞洲和拉美,也終究造就瞭98,08兩場金融風暴。新人招聘,辦公室政治,種族關係,性彆差異......除瞭在金融血汗工廠賣命的白領和最終受益的大股東和銀行傢,其他一切都是華爾街自己營造的泡沫。
