(The role and future of the arts is the subject of widespr...)
The role and future of the arts is the subject of widespread discussion in the media, in government, at conferences and at public enquiries. In the "Economics of the performing Arts" David Throsby and Glenn Withers provide an authoritative examination of the role of economics in understanding the performing arts and upon arts organisations, their audiences and their patrons. The nature of public support is exstensively reveiwed and the book draws upon the experience of all the major Anglo-American countries. By combining relevance with a rigorous academic scrutiny, the book makes an important contribution to informed debate on the economic underpinnings of artistic activity.
