In 1992, there was an explosion of 'stock fever' in Shanghai. 'From
the moment I set foot in Shanghai until my last day there, people
from all walks of life wanted to talk to me about the market',
Ellen Hertz writes. Her 1998 study sets the stock market and its
players in the context of Shanghai society, and it probes the
dominant role played by the state, which has yielded a stock market
very different from those of the West. A trained anthropologist,
she explains the way in which investors and officials construct a
'moral storyline' to make sense of this great structural
innovation, identifying a struggle between three groups of actors -
the big investors, the little investors, and the state - to control
the market.
