Liquidated: An Ethnography of Wall Street
大國蘇聯入侵小國烏克蘭未能於短期內成功,今日也知道歐盟也決定進一步在金融上加以制栽了 金融市場在現代社會中到底是怎樣的? 美國人類學家Karen Ho嘗試以人類學的視角來解釋 金融崩潰——無論是垃圾債券市場、互聯網泡沫還是高槓桿的房地產市場——通常被解釋為市場週期的必然結果:漲必跌。在 “Liquidated: An Ethnography of Wall Street“ 中,Karen Ho 刺穿了抽象的、無所不能的市場的光環,展示了金融市場,尤其是繁榮和蕭條是如何構建的。通過對華爾街投資銀行家的日常經驗和意識形態的深入調查,Karen 描述如何通過企業和更大經濟體的重組來理解、證明和產生金融主導但高度不穩定的市場體系。 Karen本人曾在一家投資銀行工作,她認為銀行家對待金融市場和美國企業的方式與其工作場所的結構和戰略密不可分。她對這些工作場所的民族志(Ethnography對民族和文化及其習俗、習慣和相互差異的科學描述): 分析充滿了壓力大的第一年員工、工作過度和疏遠的分析師、渴望被錄用的本科生以及經驗豐富的董事總經理的聲音。 從精英大學招募為“最優秀和最聰明的人”,投資銀行家被社會化到一個高風險和高回報的世界。他們得到了豐厚的報酬,他們知道他們隨時可能被解僱。他們的工作場所文化和特權網絡創造了這樣一種觀念,即工作不安全感會塑造性格,而員工流動性會帶來智能、高效的業務。基於這種與揮霍交易相關的流動性和薪酬實踐文化,華爾街投資銀行家按照自己的形象重塑了美國企業 他們的使命是創造股東價值,但Karen證明他們的做法和假設往往會產生危機。通過將投資銀行家的價值觀和行為與市場建設和美國公司重組聯繫起來,這本書揭示了華爾街的特殊文化,這種文化經常被資本主義全球化的勝利主義解讀所掩蓋。
