  • Contradictions in cross-border investment in China in the 2010s

    Open Access•Horacio Ortiz•ARTICLE•International Affairs•2025

    This article analyses how financial intermediaries explored contradictions between Chinese political, economic and social specificities and the standards of global financial practice, in a way that fostered the growth of China's share in global foreign direct investment (FDI) during the 2010s. During this period, China's share in global outbound FDI increased sharply, so that China became the second largest recipient of FDI and the third largest …

  • Risk and Finance

    Horacio Ortiz•CHAPTER•2023

    To study risk in the financial industry, rather than using the concept as an analytic category, anthropological research should instead examine the multiple technical and political meanings it has in the highly standardized procedures used by financial professionals worldwide. One important definition of risk concerns the concept of risk-free, used to qualify the bonds of the most powerful states worldwide, which are expected not to default becau…

    Horacio Ortiz•ARTICLE•Journal of Cultural Economy•2023•Cited by: 4•References: 34

    Based on fieldwork carried out with professionals working in mergers and acquisitions, venture capital and private equity cross-border transactions in Shanghai, this article proposes to study how the financial industry is co-constituted with power relations outside of it. In these transactions, financial professionals combine standardized valuation and investment methods with imaginaries of states, economies and cultural and national identity, di…

  • Political Imaginaries of the Weighted Average Cost of Capital

    Open Access•Horacio Ortiz•ARTICLE•Valuation Studies•2022

    This article analyzes the formulation of the “weighted average cost of capital” in the manuals of two of the most influential associations of financial analysts. It focuses on the use of the formula as the discount rate to determine the “fundamental value” of listed companies using the “discounted cash flows” method, a cornerstone of the definition of “shareholder value” used in the finance industry worldwide. It shows that the choice of variable…

  • Impunidad, corrupción y derechos humanos

    Open Access•Horacio Ortiz, Daniel Vázquez et al.•ARTICLE•Perfiles Latinoamericanos•2021•References: 13

    El objetivo del artículo es analizar el impacto que la corrupción y la impunidad tienen sobre las violaciones a derechos humanos. Para ello, se realizaron varios modelos estadísticos. Se observó que existen ciertos tipos de violaciones a los derechos humanos que se perpetran mediante actos de corrupción. En la medida en que ni el acto de corrupción ni esa violación sean sancionados, la impunidad se convierte en un contexto que incentiva al perpet…

  • Dessine-moi un FMI

    Open Access•Horacio Ortiz, Nelson Jacomin•ARTICLE•Terrain•2021

    Inévitablement, les technocraties posent aux chercheurs des difficultés pour être appréhendées à leur juste mesure. D'ailleurs, elles n'ont cessé de produire des objets démesurés. On sait que le Codex européen fait 9 000 pages et que les accords du Brexit sont loin de se résumer à quelques feuillets... Incompréhensibles ou plutôt impréhensibles par tout humain normalement constitué. Le Fonds monétaire international (FMI) constitue un cas exemplai…

  • A political anthropology of finance

    Open Access•Horacio Ortiz•ARTICLE•Anthropological Theory•2021•Cited by: 22•References: 58

    This article proposes an analytics to study the financial industry as a global political institution, based on its role in the production of global hierarchies, by the way it collects, produces and distributes money worldwide. I propose to do this by combining three analytic angles. First, I propose to situate the financial industry in a global space, where it contributes to produce multiple social hierarchies, which connect to the history of col…

    Open Access•Horacio Ortiz•ARTICLE•Sociologia & Antropologia•2019•References: 30

    This text presents Keith Hart’s anthropology of money and its importance for a political anthropology of the financial industry. Hart argues that money articulates social hierarchies and inequalities that connect intimate personal experience with the rest of humanity, and that the multiplicity of violence and the liberating potential of these interdependences does not correspond to a single logic, contrary to what abstract economic theories propo…

  • Finance

    Open Access•Horacio Ortiz•OTHER•The International Encyclopedia of…•2018

    The anthropology of finance has developed following the growing importance of the financial industry in the distribution of monetary resources worldwide since the 1980s. It concentrates on the bureaucratic settings and commercial practices that organize relations between employees and between companies. The analysis of everyday practice shows that the technical operations most often make sense, for those who carry them out and for the regulatory …

  • Credit and Debt

    Open Access•Horacio Ortiz•OTHER•The International Encyclopedia of…•2018

    The analysis of “credit” and “debt,” two words that designate the same social relation, is conceptually fruitful in highlighting social rules across a wide variety of social settings. First, credit and debt relations can be considered a fundamental element in the hierarchical organization of social groups that is partly constituted through a regular distribution of rights and duties to lend and borrow. Second, these relations are also often funda…

    La réglementation et les normes professionnelles adjugent à l’industrie financière un rôle fondamental dans la distribution de ressources, en considérant qu’elle est le lieu de réalisation de l’efficience des marchés financiers, où les prix reflèteraient toute l’information disponible sur les entreprises, et donc leur vraie valeur. L’analyse des méthodes d’évaluation montre qu’elles sont multiples, interdépendantes et contradictoires et qu’elles …

    This editorial considers the opportunities opened up for anthropologists by the financial crisis of 2008. The chief of these is the exposure of cracks in the intellectual hegemony of free-market economics which contributed to an unnecessarily defensive posture on the part of most anthropologists during the period of neoliberal globalization.
