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. 517 3 $aCommercial culture 606 $aArts$xMarketing 606 $aArts$xEconomic aspects 606 $aArts and society 615 0$aArts$xMarketing. 615 0$aArts$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aArts and society. 676 $a700.688 700 $aCowen$b Tyler$0323813 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962474003321 996 $aIn praise of commercial culture$94367071 997 $aUNINA
