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.

post-industrial economy and centrality of market-based finance in the US; 作者野心太大,分析角度多但說理過於重復 ((最後還終於把post-modernism都扯齣來瞭。。。

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...
