Book Synopsis
Argues that financial governance is made not just through top-down laws and policies but also through the daily use of mundane legal techniques such as collateral by a variety of secondary agents, from legal technicians and retail investors to financiers and academics and even computerized trading programs.

Trade Review
"Collateral Knowledge is a complex, clever, stimulating, and ambitious text on an important topic. Annelise Riles upends current debates about regulation and deregulation, private vs. public interest, and financial globalization by calling our attention to the unobtrusive, yet pervasive technical devices that private actors use to do their business. A real blockbuster." (Bruce Carruthers, Northwestern University)"
