摘要：Since the late 1980s, a growing number of scholars have applied ethnography to the study
of financial markets. Brought to the public after the works by Michel Callon and other
researchers (Callon 1998; Callon, Millo, and Muniesa 2007) shed light on the construction
and employment of financial devices and their effects on markets, Alexandra Ouroussoff ¡¯s
Wall Street at War highlights the internal tension existing within contemporary world¡¯s
economy between on the one hand rating system and on the other hand production
enterprises, generated after the rise of financial capitalism and the assumption of centrality
of rating agency for firms¡¯ access to credit. In exploring this issue, Ouroussoff follows the
path opened by Keith Hart and Horactio Ortiz (2008), and by Tara Schwegler (2009),
using ethnography and anthropological theory to ¡®add a critical theoretical dimension to
the diagnosis and ongoing analysis of the global economic order¡¯ (Schwegler 2009)
