Reviews
"For too long, the story of China’s upswing has revolved around industrial resources and manufacturing manpower. Dal Maso’s clear-eyed analysis of financialization offers an update, and a strikingly new viewpoint, on the PRC economy. Required reading for China watchers!" (Andrew Ross, author of Fast Boat to China: Corporate Flight and the Consequences of Free Trade—Lessons from Shanghai)
“How can we decode the connections, at once subjugating and fragile, that tie a governmental project of economic control to the unfolding of a liberal financial subjectivity? Giulia Dal Maso undertakes that task brilliantly in the Chinese territory of finance.” (Fabian Muniesa, research director, Ecole des Mines de Paris, France)"How does financialization with Chinese characteristics look like? If this question interests you, then Giulia Dal Maso’s book is a must-read. Dal Maso provides a brilliant analysis of the working of financial markets in China focusing on the subjective figures that populate them and highlighting emerging tensions and potential conflicts. Moreover, such concepts as financial capitalism and financial labor are tested in this book in ways that are relevant even beyond the Chinese case." (Sandro Mezzadra, University of Bologna, Italy)Giulia Dal Maso proposes to explore financial institutions in China through the subjectivity of people who study finance abroad and grapple to fit in when they come back. Partly inside and partly outside, aspiring and disappointed, qualified but marginalized, at the intersection of financial globalization and a state-backed national project, these subjectivities offer original standpoints to ask fruitful questions about financial expertise, financial institutions and financialization in China and abroad. Going beyond the boundaries of problematizations established for the analysis of financial institutions in Europe and the United States, Dal Maso’s brilliant analyses propose novel ways to interrogate the global roles of financial institutions and financial professionals.
