Reviews for Collateral Knowledge
"Collateral Knowledge is a complex, clever, stimulating, and ambitious text on an important topic. Annelise Riles upends current debates about regulation and deregulation, private vs. public interest, and financial globalization by calling our attention to the unobtrusive, yet pervasive technical devices that private actors use to do their business. A real blockbuster." (Bruce Carruthers, Northwestern University)"
