From Publishers Weekly

The timely question, What caused the current global financial crisis? provokes answers usually aimed at the level of institutions and the more abstract market logic. Ho's refreshing ethnography of the daily lives of Wall Street investment bankers takes another tack and outlines a web of practices, beliefs and structures that may be vital to understanding what keeps the market system in place despite built-in instabilities. Ho, a former business analyst and now an associate professor of anthropology at the University of Minnesota, unpacks constant downsizing, high risk/high reward job liquidity, shortsighted compensation structures, prestige and the ruse of shareholder value. Her keen eye for the significance of space illuminates workplace narratives, e.g., segregating staff by floor, function and prestige; constant and lavish recruiting events at Princeton and Harvard; and anticlimactically tawdry office space for most workers. The author exposes how elite undergraduates are immersed in a culture promoting finance as the only legitimate job, how educational pedigrees reinforce the financial world's self-image—while the actual jobs remain rigidly hierarchical (stratifying women, people of color and non–Ivy League graduates), highly unstable and isolating, encouraging a culture in which making money is the only value.

Review

"We're pretty familiar with the economic rationale for the regime of cost-cutting and downsizing throughout corporate America in recent decades. But Karen Ho's research greatly enriches our understanding of how Wall Street's own peculiar culture of transient relationships and relentless competition has contributed to the shareholder revolution. And, along the way, her interviews and fieldwork offer a very revealing picture of the mind of Wall Street. A fascinating and important book." Doug Henwood, editor of Left Business Observer " Karen Ho has picked an excellent time to publish her fascinating new study...patient ethnographic analysis has produced a fascinating portrait that will be refreshingly novel to most bankers...Ho peppers her account with revealing eyewitness stories...Most fascinating of all is her account of how Wall Street becomes deluded by its own rhetoric about "market efficiency"...I, for one, would vote that Ho's account becomes mandatory reading on any MBA (or investment banking course); if nothing else, it might be more entertaining than the other texts that bankers swallow so uncritically." Gillian Tett, Financial Times, 2nd October 2009

读后感

第一章:其实就是说通过“名校”的隐秘光环,塑造一种大家都是聪明人的标准,这种单一的聪明标准、违反了多元化、种族平等的政治正确。 第二章还没看完:大致描述了投行的等级制度和如何压榨新人的时间。里头有一个段子说投行6点半给点外卖、8点给报销打车。让我想到了我大互联...

在这个全球化时代,美国的金融中心华尔街,早已不仅仅是美国的标志和骄傲,更是全世界关注的焦点。华尔街的独特文化与华尔街人的生活,也随之成为了很多企业、很多人争相了解和模仿的标杆。 然而,那些衣着光鲜的华尔街人,却有着另外一个偏僻入里的名字——“走钢丝的幸运儿”...

书名中的清算指的是经常跟裁员倒闭关联在一起的重组清算,不是结算Settlement。实际上这个书名跟后面副标题中的华尔街关联起来,容易让人误以为是结算。 作者是人类学博士,本书是作者在1998-1999年在华尔街工作期间和之后访问后的人类学田野报告,再加上作者对“股东价值”的...

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...

人类学家,人种学家,来研究华尔街,咋一看,跨界嘛,再一想,啊,华尔街的人和我们已经不是一个人种了!不过这样的混合,确实带来了新的视野和观点,好书!

A not so pleasant perspective of wall street. 顺便一提,看来只要名校出身,读人类学一样可以进投行。

书里有一句说HYP三校里华尔街最喜欢招哈佛和普林斯顿的学生,相对不待见耶鲁学生因为他们太文艺/太左。我觉得这句话黑的是哈佛和普林斯顿

读完本书可以终结最近的996讨论,也终于明白为什么Hoang会专门在自己书里单独cue这本书了。从大众利益与股东收益分离为入手点,说明市场的不稳定性通过华尔街投行自身不断重塑,而并非完全取决与市场自然波动。进而用insitutional ethnography to explain the take-for-grantedness daily practices of the investment bankers. 在美国金融市场的扩张和全球化的趋势下,华尔街模式被美国商界适用又进一步推广到亚洲和拉美,也终究造就了98,08两场金融风暴。新人招聘,办公室政治,种族关系,性别差异......除了在金融血汗工厂卖命的白领和最终受益的大股东和银行家,其他一切都是华尔街自己营造的泡沫。
