Many decades ago, when mapping out his ambitious sociological programme, Talcott Parsons more or less came to a tacit agreement with colleagues in the Harvard University Economics Department that economists would study value (thereby claiming the economy for themselves), while he and other sociologists focused on values (thereby claiming the social relations in which economies are embedded) (Stark 2000). keywords: anthropology; business; evaluation; social; sociology; university; value; worth cache: jba-4068.pdf plain text: jba-4068.txt item: #13 of 103 id: jba-4069 author: Røyrvik, Emil A. title: Incarnation Inc.

In this context, the market-based ‘social emotions’ (Pixley, 2004) that were once deemed ‘irrational’ (see, e.g., Kindleberger, 1989) in the sense of leading to price distortions – the collective fear, euphoria, mania, panic, and so forth of stock market participants – are increasingly seen as the prime determinants of prices and gain considerable attention within financial markets. keywords: 2009; anthropology; business; ethnographers; ethnography; finance; financialization; journal; markets; organizations; press; profit; value cache: jba-4070.pdf plain text: jba-4070.txt item: #15 of 103 id: jba-4071 author: Rudnyckyj, Daromir; Ong, Aihwa; Miyazaki, Hirokazu; Lee, Benjamin; Fisher, Melissa S. title: Opinions: The Anthropology of Finance date: 2013-06-11 words: 10802 flesch: 43 summary: China's ‘superbank’ reconfigures financial flows When it comes to global financial markets, it is informative to contrast governing styles animated by either an ecological logic or a centripetal logic.
