Under New Management

Randy Martin is Professor and Chair of Art and Public Policy at New York University. He is author or editor of a dozen books, including An Empire of Indifference: American War and the Financial Logic of Risk Management, and Financialization of Daily Life (Temple).

"Randy Martin’s Under New Management offers a very timely and highly impassioned exploration of the labor of administering the university. Through this discussion of the place of the university within broader political-economic trends, Under New Management makes an important contribution to theorizing the role of education in contemporary affairs. Martin’s book is filled with fascinating theoretical insights and interesting case studies, but it is the project’s investigation of the potential for working management against the grain that makes it a particularly important and innovative intervention."-Ashley Dawson, Professor of English at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York
