作者博论,佩服勇气。将金融化概念操作化,联系战后尤其里根政府的公共政策。应对三种危机:资本“稀缺”与分配不均引发社会危机;美元国际化与赤字引发财政危机;货币主义工具调控不灵引发合法危机。去政治化政策拖延危机,使其不断积累而日益深重。缺点是将美国视为封闭系统;危机概念时髦但不清晰。
评分问题意识好且中热点,但写作方式装逼,答案平淡,将经济学基础模型铺上政治过程和社会后果外皮,行动者—结构机制相对模糊,获奖有拔高之嫌。主张美国经济资本化源于1960-70年代政府职能扩张、石油危机、布雷顿森林体系崩溃等导致通胀上升,挑战新政式资本管制、社会契约和政府经济政策,造成社会团结解体、财政紧缺和政府合法性遭受质疑三大危机。自里根时代以来美国政府通过提高利率并解除信贷限额、放款资本管制引入外国资本及货币主义(实为锚定联邦基金利率的半货币主义)政策应对,将决策包袱抛给市场,无意中发现以市场代替政府决策可多元化民众收入并抚慰中产阶级缓和社会危机、带来大量可用信贷和外国资本、避免民主公共讨论的政治麻烦和技术难题,从而解决三大危机,但后果是资本和金融市场基本代替生产和商品市场成为美国经济命脉。
评分Interesting topic, great thesis, dry and confusing writing. Gives me headaches.

评分seriously 这书看不进去。看完了还是觉得看不懂。我知道她想argue什么,但是不明白每一章的mechanism是什么。让我有一种隔行如隔山的感觉,可是这位还是sociologist。
Greta Krippner is a historical sociologist with substantive interests in economic sociology, political sociology, the sociology of law, and social theory. Her work explores how the rise of the market intersects broader social, cultural, and political transformations in the “long” twentieth century. Her first book, Capitalizing on Crisis: The Political Origins of the Rise of Finance (Harvard University Press, 2012), examines the financialization of the U.S. economy in the period since the 1970s. Her current research traces the evolution of methods of risk-based pricing over the course of the twentieth century, asking how the notion that each individual should “pay the cost” of her own riskiness emerged as a widely accepted normative principle governing how risk is distributed in modern society. She is also working on a book project that explores the problem of market freedom in American historical development.
In the context of the recent financial crisis, the extent to which the U.S. economy has become dependent on financial activities has been made abundantly clear. In "Capitalizing on Crisis", Greta Krippner traces the longer-term historical evolution that made the rise of finance possible, arguing that this development rested on a broader transformation of the U.S. economy than is suggested by the current preoccupation with financial speculation. Krippner argues that state policies that created conditions conducive to financialization allowed the state to avoid a series of economic, social, and political dilemmas that confronted policymakers as postwar prosperity stalled beginning in the late 1960s and 1970s. In this regard, the financialization of the economy was not a deliberate outcome sought by policymakers, but rather an inadvertent result of the state's attempts to solve other problems. The book focuses on deregulation of financial markets during the 1970s and 1980s, encouragement of foreign capital into the U.S. economy in the context of large fiscal imbalances in the early 1980s, and changes in monetary policy following the shift to high interest rates in 1979. Exhaustively researched, the book brings extensive new empirical evidence to bear on debates regarding recent developments in financial markets and the broader turn to the market that has characterized U.S. society over the last several decades.
