“Michael Goldman is one of our leading scholars of global capital. In Hidden Empire of Finance, he provides crucial analysis of how Wall Street reshapes our cities through speculative logics that permeate every aspect of life, from the state to ecology.”—Ananya Roy, Founding Director of the UCLA Luskin Institute on Inequality and Democracy “Taking us inside the hidden abodes of global finance, Michael Goldman shows how cities have been turned into an asset class, and how the private-equity industry enacts and profits from ‘speculative urbanism’. Working the intersections of urbanization and global finance through India, Spain, and the United States, Hidden Empire of Finance presents a radical and revelatory take on this new modality of financialized rule. A pathbreaking intervention.”—Jamie Peck, author of, Variegated Economies
