The Rise and Fall of Finance and the End of the Society of Organizations
记录了过去三十年美国企业就业、机构投资、公司组织、金融服务、政府及家庭与金融市场关系的变化，认为这些变化共同指向金融中心经济，并将近期经济衰退视为这一趋势的结果。
Executive Overview Large corporations were a dominant force in American society for generations through their employment practices, expansion choices, and community connections. As the United States has shifted to a postin-dustrial economy, however, finance has increasingly taken center stage. This article documents shifts in corporate employment, institutional investment, corporate organization, financial services, governments, and household ties to financial markets over the past three decades. I argue that all these shifts can be seen as part of an interconnected movement toward a finance-centered economy, and that the recent economic downturn can be viewed as one outcome of this broader movement.
