« Avant c’était El Progreso, aujourd’hui c’est El Pobrezo », me dit l’un de mes interlocuteurs, jouant des mots progrès et pauvreté. Dans ce village reculé du Mexique, nommé « Le Progrès », les plantations de café à l’abandon ne sont plus que le symbole d’une époque révolue, où l’économie tournait autour de la terre. Désormais, c’est celle de la présence massive d’institutions financières, offrant des crédits à des populations précarisées par des décennies de politiques néolibérales. Leur présence témoigne surtout de l’extension des frontières de la finance vers des lieux périphériques. Pourtant, ces flux financiers ne circulent pas dans le vide. En étant utilisés par les populations, ils s’engouffrent dans les méandres de relations sociales complexes, répondant à des manières autres de comprendre ce qui fonde la valeur d’un individu et sa place dans le collectif. En suivant ces usages de l’argent, ce livre démontre le rôle central joué par les acteurs intermédiaires qui, des agents de crédit aux leaders locaux, font la traduction entre, d’une part, la rationalité imprimée par les institutions financières et, d’autre part les dynamiques sociales, politiques, économiques et écologiques qui leur préexistent localement. Dans les plis de ces enchevêtrements, se dessine une société rurale en pleine mutation, où les rapports de pouvoir jadis articulés autour de la terre se transforment et où des formes de « vivre ensemble » tentent de subsister. Basé sur une enquête ethnographique de plusieurs années, cet ouvrage prend le contrepoint des macro-récits sur le capitalisme pour documenter les effets qu’il génère in situ. Loin d’être une force homogène, se produisant de manière automatique, il dépend du travail réalisé par une série de mains invisibles pour se réaliser concrètement. Dans ces entre-deux, le capitalisme – en apparence si évident – se teinte de nuances multiples et montre potentiellement toute sa vulnérabilité.

"This book aims to present a picture of one of the world's leading credit rating agencies. Credited as being the first credit rating agency, Moody's stands as the epitome of the rating sector and all that it effects. However, outside of internal and non-public histories compiled within the rating agency itself, the story of Moody's has never been told, until now. However, this is not a historical book. Rather, this book paints a picture of Moody's on a wider canvass that introduces the concept of rating to you, taking into account the origins of the sector, the competitive battles that formed the modern-day oligopoly, and the characters that have each taken their turn on sculpting the industry that, today, is critical to the modern economy. The book is a story of personable people who provided the market with what it needed, but it is more than that. It is a story of conflict, impact, strategy, and most of all the relationship between big business and modern society. Standing as the gatekeeper to the capital markets that form the core of modern society, Moody's represents the very best of what the marketplace can produce, but also the very worst. This story takes in economic crises in the antebellum United States, the Panics of the early 1900s, the Wall Street Crash and the Great Depression and, of course, the Global Financial Crisis. It does this because, at the heart of each one was a member of the rating industry or the reporting industry that preceded it. Associated with almost any financial scandal you may care to remember the credit rating agencies, in their often-uncomfortable role as gatekeepers, have their fingerprints on most financial scandals and calamities. This book tells the story of the industry's founding member"
