  Up and to the Right (Book Review)

  Much of the blame for the 2007–2008 economic and financial crisis was placed on the faith of bank managers

  executives

  and federal regulators in quantitative analysis

  models

  and equations. However

  this article disputes the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission’s claim that quantitative analysis entered into banking with the hiring of quantitative analysts or ‘quants’ in the 1970s. Instead

  the article traces the history of quantitative analysis in banking to the widespread introduction of planning techniques in the 1960s. The article demonstrates that in the 1960s nearly a quarter of all surveyed commercial banks had adopted planning techniques. These banks were active in their quest for new ways to lend and invest and for management strategies strengthened by statistical models and techniques that promised to enable bank executives and managers to calculatedly manage an unknowable future. Drawing on archival documents on Citibank’s planning departments

  the article highlights how planning techniques in the late 1960s influenced banks to enter more forcefully into the consumer credit market and guided the adoption of mostly unprofitable and high-risk bank credit cards. In the end

  the article interrogates the history of the introduction of statistically based planning methods in bank management practices and how these techniques helped form a pathway to the validation of ‘increased risk-taking’ in American banking in the mid- to late twentieth century.

  In 1968

  facing a tumultuous banking environment

  commercial bankers framed bank lobbying as the act of translating the complex U.S. financial and economic systems for legislators and regulators. Inspired by Science and Technology Studies research

  this article demonstrates that the translations of the U.S. financial system offered by bank lobbyists were not merely descriptions of the complex banking system. Instead

  their translations reflected a process that sought to create networks of congressional and public support and enroll other actors as spokespersons for these translations. The article details how the acceptance for these translations proved to be a long process of reformulations

  reconfigurations

  and failures. There were three primary lobbying strategies used by large U.S. commercial banks: maintaining close relationships with high-ranking decision makers

  making public statements to gain public support for their translations of the economy

  and advocating for long and expert studies with heavy bank consultation. The article also highlights the techniques used by bank lobbyists during this period to alter the banking environment: legislation drafting

  editorial writing

  letter writing

  report writing

  private consultations

  meetings with reporters

  and public statements. These lobbying techniques and strategies were instrumental in establishing the Hunt Commission and translating and actualizing the blueprint for financial “deregulation.”
