Summary
Ruth Towse: Economics of Culture
Ruth Towse answers a handful of questions about the arts such as performance and visual arts, music, film and literature using knowledge and methods from economics. The book is full of examples from all over the world and the results of recent research. Nevertheless, the Economy of Culture is intended for everyone, not only economists.
This is an ideal handbook for students interested in business in the arts sector.
The name Ruth Tousi is one of the most famous names in the economics of culture. Her numerous publications in this field guarantee that she is the right person to write such a textbook. This book is not only a must for students of economics, but also for all readers who are interested in what economists think about art. David Throsby, Macquarie University
A well-known cultural economist, Tausi uses the theories and methods of economics to answer many questions such as paying for admission to museums or illegal "downloading" of music... She uses international examples and recent research and does not assume that the reader knows economics. Times Higher Education
