Summary: Culture manifests itself in everything human, including the ordinary business of everyday life. Culturally determined values influence negotiations in the market-place, and conflicting values and unshared codes may thwart the development of local or International markets. But economic values also constrain art and culture. Resources are limited, both for artists and for cultural institutions. Even 'priceless art' has its price. Arts sponsorship and subsidies suggest a value that exceeds market price. So what is the real value of culture?. Unlike the usual focus on formal problems, which has 'de-cultured' and 'de-moralized' the practice of economics, this book brings together economists, philosophers, historians, political scientists and artists to try to sort out the value of culture. These many different perspectives create a whole new look upon the uneasy relationship between culture and economics. (Font: Editor)
