b'After an extended riff, we kick off the new TMK Book Club on An Engine, Not a Camera: How Financial Models Shape Markets by Donald MacKenzie. In the first chapter we get an intro to some of the big themes, methods, and theories that we\\u2019ll get deeper into throughout the book\\u2019s sociological analysis of financial economics and market dynamics. This is a foundational book in the social studies of finance. Being an academic text, it is also dense and heady. Read along with us if you have the time and ability. But don\\u2019t stress if you can\\u2019t. We will, as always, do our best to break things down and add our own discussion of each chapter. Episodes come out biweekly.
