In recent years, we've been rocked by a series of economic jolts, and all of them seemed to revolve around finance. And the most recent, the American mortgage meltdown, has sent shock waves around the world. Managed by the Markets , which won the 2010 George R. Terry Book Award, offers an illuminating account of how finance has replaced manufacturing at the center of the American economy over the past three decades, explaining how the new finance-centered system works, how we got here, and what challenges lay ahead.
Since the early 1980s, Gerald F. Davis shows, finance and financial considerations have increasingly taken center stage, dramatically reshaping American society. Corporations now have an overriding focus on creating shareholder value, while their personnel practices no longer provide secure employment, economic mobility, health insurance, or retirement benefits. Instead, employees must become shareholding free-agents, left to their own fate. Banking has shifted from the traditional role of taking in deposits and making loans to the widespread use of "securitization," turning loans (such as mortgages or corporate debt) into bonds owned by institutional investors. The financial services industry is both more concentrated among large banks and mutual funds, yet more spread out among under-regulated specialists such as mortgage finance companies and hedge funds. And states increasingly act as "vendors" in a global marketplace of law, emulating firms such as Nike, hiring contractors to do much of the work of government.
As a result, individuals and households find their welfare tied to the stock market and the mortgage market as never before. And the turbulence of recent years starkly underscores the dangers of depending too much on financial markets. Written in the spirit of C. Wright Mills' penetrating The Power Elite and White Collar , this brilliant study provides an invaluable map of the finance-driven American society.

这本书讲了美国的后工业化史,但整体框架不是很清楚,读的时候也感觉磕磕绊绊,难以融入其中,总觉得作者这本书写的遮遮掩掩,很多地方都没有解释明白。可能是因为我自己对美国不是很了解吧。。。其主要观点在最后一章中都有总结,大家在看的时候如果时间不充裕可以直接先...
評分2008年金融危机后,估计N多经济学家都开始写书了,我猜本书就是其中一本。 谈的很宽泛,大致介绍了美国金融的历史。感觉只看最后一章就可以了。 作者对普通人的状况似乎是悲观的,公司的股东导向,401K计划后,作为普通公民或家庭,其实需要自己控制自己的养老金,医疗保险金...
