Culture of Wall Street

University of Minnesota professor Karen Ho talks about how Wall Street is a culture full of prep school cronies that are so focused on profits and bonuses, that they have no long term economic vision. Ho is the author of the upcoming book, Liquidated: An Ethnography of Wall Street. Based on three years of research immersed in Wall Street fieldwork, including working for a bank, she reveals the dominance of financial culture and how it has spread across America and set the stage for financial crises.

What she says makes so much sense. Every organization has its own culture and this culture plays an integral role in a corporate/governmental entity's behavior. To try to analyze an entity or an incident within one, without examination of its culture is like going to the doctor for a checkup where only your heartbeat is listened to, and the doctor then proffers a diagnosis as to your the state of your overall health.

shallow? It's a university relations video. Read her book for the analysis. Excellent.

She's not an intellectual. She's an activist.
