Frontiers of Capital: Ethnographic Reflections on the New Economy

Fisher, Melissa S. and Greg Downey, eds. Durham, NC: Duke University Press, 2006.

Frontiers of Capital

Growing out of a workshop organized by the SSRC Program on the Corporation as a Social Institution, Frontiers of Capital brings together ethnographies exploring how cultural practices and social relations have been altered by the radical economic and technological innovations of the New Economy. The contributors, most of whom are anthropologists, investigate changes in the practices and interactions of futures traders, Chinese entrepreneurs, residents of French housing projects, women working on Wall Street, cable television programmers, and others.
