Synopsis by Amazon.co.uk:
Using the economic point of view for an analysis of phenomena related to artistic activities, this title challenges widely held popular views and offers an alternative perspective to sociological or art historic approaches. The wide range of subjects presented in this title are allrelevant for cultural policy. The issues discussed include: institutions - from festivals to "superstar" museums; different means of supporting the arts, including the question whether artistic creativity is undermined by public intervention; an investigation into art as an investment; and the various approaches applied when valuing our cultural properties, or why, in a comparative perspective, direct voter participation in cultural policy is not antagonistic to artistic values.
