New book by Gerald Davis traces risks of fixation on financial markets.

In his new book, Managed by the Markets (Oxford University Press), Professor Gerald Davis examines how finance replaced manufacturing at the center of the American economy. With that transition came tremendous consequences now being felt by corporations, the banking sector, individual states, and households. Where to from here? Davis is the Wilbur K. Pierpont Collegiate Professor of Management at Ross and is a professor of management and organizations. Recent books include Social Movements and Organization Theory (with Doug McAdam, W. Richard Scott, and Mayer N. Zald; Cambridge University Press, 2005) and Organizations and Organizing: Rational, Natural, and Open System Perspectives (with W. Richard Scott; Pearson Prentice Hall, 2007).
