Reviews
“An Empire of Indifference is a brilliant study, both theoretically profound and politically compelling.”— Michael J. Shapiro, author of Methods and Nations: Cultural Governance and the Indigenous Subject
“An Empire of Indifference is the perfect answer to Thomas Friedman’s The World Is Flat. Randy Martin well understands that finance capital flattens and gouges at the same time. This book is the anti-Friedman.”—Neil Smith, author of The Endgame of Globalization
“While a great deal has been written about globalization, empire, and international finance, I know of no other work besides this one that looks at their intersection through the rhetorical and conceptual lens of finance. An Empire of Indifference is a strong piece of original scholarship on a very important topic.”—Chris Hables Gray, author of Peace, War, and Computers
