Summary: Addresses underlying assumptions of institutional structures and funding mechanisms of the cultural sector and argues for broader languages that can capture the full range of values attached to culture. Reviews the intrinsicinstrumental value debate, and examines various economic and non-economic value discourses. Recommends a concept of ‘Cultural Value’ which recognises the ‘historical, social, symbolic, aesthetic and spiritual values that lie at the heart of culture but which bureaucracies and organisations find the hardest of all to articulate and defend’ (Font: CRESC)
