Randy Martin (5 October 1957 - 28 January, 2015) was a professor of Art and Policy at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, socialist activist, and dancer.[5]

Thought

Educated as a sociologist but with a background as a dancer, Martin's scholarship addresses intersections between art and politics.[2][4] In Financialization of Daily Life, Martin examines how the shift toward financialization in the economy of the United States has subsequently affected culture, with a particular attention paid to the control of inflation and stimulation of economic growth.[6]
