Informationen zum Autor Randy Martin Klappentext "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" Zusammenfassung Presents a Marxist critique of contemporary American imperialism. This book argues that a finance-based logic of risk control has come to dominate Americans' everyday lives as well as US foreign and domestic policy.
