"In one lifetime modern finance theory has revolutionized the arts of canny investing.
MacKenzie knows this exciting story, and he tells it well."
-- Paul A. Samuelson, MIT, Nobel Laureate in Economic Sciences (1970)
"Having returned from an audacious incursion into the black box of modern financial
markets, Donald MacKenzie shows how economic theory has succeeded in capturing and
shaping them. This book will be of substantial interest to specialists in a range
of fields including economics, finance theory, economic sociology, and science and
technology studies. But MacKenzie's tour de force is to make clear, even to nonspecialists,
that through complex technical issues, alternative forms of economic organization
can be imagined and discussed."
--Michel Callon, Ecole des Mines de Paris
"Donald MacKenzie has long been one of the world's most brilliant social and historical
analysts of science and technology. Here he provides an original, astute, and exhaustively
researched account of the development of finance theory and the ways in which it
is intertwined with financial markets. An Engine, Not a Camera is essential for anyone
interested in markets and the forms of knowledge deployed in them."
--Karin Knorr Cetina, University of Konstanz and University of Chicago
"An Engine, Not a Camera is a compelling, detailed, and elegantly written exploration
of the conditions in which finance economists help to make the world they seek to
describe and predict. Donald MacKenzie has long been without equal as a sociologist
of how late modern futures are brought into being and made authoritative. This is
his best work yet."
--Steven Shapin, Franklin L. Ford Professor of the History of Science, Harvard University
