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 framework, as part of the neoliberal moral and political project of organizing society through markets, with the ideal horizon of efficiency and an optimal allocation of resources. These imaginaries accompany and legitimize the global hierarchy in the access to monetary resources managed by the financial industry
