Do economic forces of supply and demand help or harm the pursuit of creativity? This book seeks to redress the late 1990's intellectual and popular balance and to encourage a more favourable attitude towards the commercialization of culture that we associate with modernity. Economist, Martin Tyler Cowen argues that the capitalist market economy is a vital but underappreciated institutional framework for supporting both high and low culture, helping consumers and artists refine their tastes, and paying homage to the past by capturing, reproducing, and disseminating it.Commercial cultureArtsMarketingArtsEconomic aspectsArts and societyArtsMarketing.ArtsEconomic aspects.Arts and society.700.688Cowen Tyler323813MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910962474003321In praise of commercial culture4367071UNINA
