評分現在看來有點過時瞭
評分書裏有一句說HYP三校裏華爾街最喜歡招哈佛和普林斯頓的學生,相對不待見耶魯學生因為他們太文藝/太左。我覺得這句話黑的是哈佛和普林斯頓
評分人類學傢,人種學傢,來研究華爾街,咋一看,跨界嘛,再一想,啊,華爾街的人和我們已經不是一個人種瞭!不過這樣的混閤,確實帶來瞭新的視野和觀點,好書!

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
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...
評分以人類學角度切入固然很好,可是似乎還沒有充分發揮人類學的威力,仍太受經理主義影響。 說投資銀行家 no strategy,以及用精英文化來合理化自己工作朝不保夕,都挺好。但以此種制度文化來解釋投行對企業造成的種種重組壓力,還是有些中介環節沒說清。 多處糾纏於 "打著追求股...
評分 評分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...
