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.
Educated as a sociologist but with a background as a dancer, Martin's scholarship addresses intersections between art and politics. 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.
