Chapter 2 begins the detailed examination of the investment chain. It introduces some of the main sets of intermediaries and what their jobs are. The chapter also sketches how those intermediaries enable and constrain each other and form audiences for each other’s presentations of self. Behind the pervasive ‘front-stage’ presentations of an orderly, rigorous investment process, suggests Chapter 2, there lies a normally hidden, more messy, Goffmanesque ‘back stage’ of failures, uncertainties, and sometimes dissent. The chapter also highlights the way in which the numbers that measure investment performance obscure the ethical-political, labour, and legal conditions that make them possible.
