Marc Flandreau tracks a group of Victorian gentleman-swindlers as they shuffled between the corridors of the London Stock Exchange and the meeting rooms of learned society, showing that anthropological studies were integral to investment and speculation in foreign government debt, and, inversely, that finance played a crucial role in shaping the contours of human knowledge. Flandreau argues that finance and science were at the heart of a new brand of imperialism born during Benjamin Disraeli's first term as Britain's prime minister in the 1860s. As anthropologists advocated the study of Miskito Indians or stated their views on a Jamaican rebellion, they were in fact catering to the impulses of the stock exchange-for their own benefit. In this way the very development of the field of anthropology was deeply tied to issues relevant to the financial market-from trust to corruption. Moreover, this book shows how the interplay between anthropology and finance formed the foundational structures of late nineteenth-century British imperialism and helped produce essential technologies of globalization as we know it today. 606 $aAnthropology$zEngland$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aLearned institutions and societies$xCorrupt practices$zEngland$zLondon$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aStock exchanges$xCorrupt practices$zEngland$zLondon$xHistory$y19th century 610 $aLondon Stock Exchange. 610 $aanthropology. 610 $aknowledge. 610 $ascience. 610 $astock exchange. 610 $atechnologies of globalization. 610 $atrust. 615 0$aAnthropology$xHistory 615 0$aLearned institutions and societies$xCorrupt practices$xHistory 615 0$aStock exchanges$xCorrupt practices$xHistory 676 $a301.094209034 700 $aFlandreau$b Marc$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0499864 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910838252203321 996 $aAnthropologists in the stock exchange$91470874 997 $aUNINA
