The recent financial crisis exposed both a naive faith in
mathematical models to manage risk and a crude culture of greed
that embraces risk. This book explores cultures of finance in sites
such as corporate governance, hedge funds, central banks, the City
of London and Wall Street, and small and medium enterprises. It
uses different methods to explore these cultures and their
interaction with different financial orders to improve our
understanding of financial crisis dynamics. The introduction
identifies types of cultural turn in studies of finance. Part I
outlines relevant research methods, including comparison of
national cultures viewed as independent variables, cultural
political economy, and critical discourse and narrative policy
analysis. Part II examines different institutional cultures of
finance and the cult of entrepreneurship. Part III offers
historical, comparative, and contemporary analyses of financial
regimes and their significance for crisis dynamics. Part IV
explores organizational cultures, modes of calculation, and
financial practices and how they shape economic performance and
guide crisis management. Part V considers crisis construals and
responses in the European Union and China. This book's great
strength is its multi-faceted approach to cultures of finance.
Contributors deploy the cultural turn creatively to enhance
comparative and historical analysis of financial regimes,
institutions, organizations, and practices as well as their roles
in crisis generation, construal, and management. Developing
different paradigms and methods and elaborating diverse case
studies, the authors illustrate not only how and why 'culture
matters' but also how its significance is shaped by different
financial regimes and contexts.
