Abstract

In The Everyday Practice of Valuation and Investment: Political Imaginaries of Shareholder Value, Horacio Ortiz explores the social institutions and practices that produce and regulate stock pricing and valuation. Drawing on extensive ethnographic detail, this book has something important to teach us about the personal, ethical and political imaginaries that are at the core of how finance works, writes Johannes Lenhard.
