Dance in the Global Village

More about the book

The book explores various financial actors, including shareholders, stakeholders, index trackers, bondholders, and options traders, as integral components of global capitalism. It highlights the evolving roles of stakeholders, who often assume their responsibilities unknowingly, and the rise of options traders among both professionals and informed laypeople. The relatively new figure of the index tracker is presented as a passive participant, focused on achieving index performance rather than maximizing profits, embodying a strategy of "watchful waiting."
