Financial collapses--whether of the junk bond market, the Internet bubble, or the highly leveraged housing market--are often explained as the inevitable results of market cycles: What goes up must come down. In Liquidated, Karen Ho punctures the aura of the abstract, all-powerful market to show how financial markets, and particularly booms and busts, are constructed. Through an in-depth investigation into the everyday experiences and ideologies of Wall Street investment bankers, Ho describes how a financially dominant but highly unstable market system is understood, justified, and produced through the restructuring of corporations and the larger economy. Ho, who worked at an investment bank herself, argues that bankers' approaches to financial markets and corporate America are inseparable from the structures and strategies of their workplaces. Her ethnographic analysis of those workplaces is filled with the voices of stressed first-year associates, overworked and alienated analysts, undergraduates eager to be hired, and seasoned managing directors. Recruited from elite universities as "the best and the brightest," investment bankers are socialized into a world of high risk and high reward. They are paid handsomely, with the understanding that they may be let go at any time. Their workplace culture and networks of privilege create the perception that job insecurity builds character and employee liquidity results in smart, efficient business. Based on this culture of liquidity and compensation practices tied to profligate deal-making, Wall Street investment bankers reshape corporate America in their own image. Their mission is the creation of shareholder value, but Ho demonstrates that their practices and assumptions often produce crises instead. By connecting the values and actions of investment bankers to the construction of markets and the restructuring of U.S. corporations, Liquidated reveals the particular culture of Wall Street often obscured by triumphalist readings of capitalist globalization.

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...
评分从哈佛毕业后,哈佛毕业生们就要去寻找最能符合哈佛毕业生身份的工作,离开了大学里哈佛,也要生活在各行各业里的哈佛。而唯一能符合哈佛身份的工作,就是华尔街。华尔街因为你的哈佛身份招聘了你,并不在乎你的专业技能,这也就导致了他们招聘来的是一个“哈佛人”的商标,而...
评分我没有受过社会学的专业训练,不知道从社会学专业的角度如何评价这本书。作为一个普通读者,只能说这本书挺让人失望的。 这本书花了大量篇幅反复强调投行工作时间长、薪酬水平高、流动性大这些非常显而易见的事实。问题是这些简单的事实完全可以通过统计数字做出全局性的描述,...
评分说起来非常讽刺: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...
