This book introduces the reader to the subject of urban economics. In this volume I have tried to bring together three elements essential to an understanding of the present economic situation of cities. The second essential element is an understanding of the forces that determine the location, form, and economic structure cities.

(This is the first book to cover not only the economics of...)
This is the first book to cover not only the economics of the fine arts and performing arts in the United States but also public policy toward the arts at federal, state, and local levels. The book will interest academic readers seeking a core text on the economics of the arts and arts management as well as those seeking a systematic analysis of the arts in America. Theoretical concepts are developed from scratch so that readers with little background in economics can follow the arguments. The authors look at the arts' historical growth and then examine consumption and production, the functioning and financial problems of arts markets, the financial problems of performing arts companies and museums, and the key role of public policy. A final chapter speculates about the future of art and culture in the United States.

This is the first book to cover not only the economics of the fine arts and performing arts, but also public policy toward the arts at federal, state, and local levels in the United States. The second edition offers greater coverage of the international arts sector. The work will interest academic readers as a supplementary text on the sociology of the arts, as well as general readers seeking a systematic analysis of the economics of the arts. Theoretical concepts are developed from scratch so that readers with no background in economics can follow the argument.
