Evolution, Veblen and the predatory arts

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Should the arts receive public support? Can the arts survive in a modern capitalist society? Can economics shed light on the nature of public support, and whether there is a rationale for public intervention? This book undertakes to examine these questions as it explores the ways government and public resources are used to support the arts.
