About the Book

"What could be more timely than this fascinating and highly readable investigation of the culture of Wall Street? With "Liquidated," Karen Ho takes us into the workaday world of investment banking before the crisis, showing us the roots of the risk-taking that drew lavish compensation packages and brought the world financial system to the brink of collapse.

      Used Like New(1 Copy): Fine 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall. "While financial collapses are often explained as the inevitable result of market cycles, 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." This book has 374 pages and is illustrated. The text contains NO internal marks whatsoever.

      About the Book

      "What could be more timely than this fascinating and highly readable investigation of the culture of Wall Street? With "Liquidated," Karen Ho takes us into the workaday world of investment banking before the crisis, showing us the roots of the risk-taking that drew lavish compensation packages and brought the world financial system to the brink of collapse. A significant contribution both to the anthropological and wider social scientific literature on financial markets and globalization, as well as to the urgent public debate over the power of financial institutions in contemporary American society."--Bill Maurer, author of "Pious Property: Islamic Mortgages in the United States"
