Culture is Not an Industry

Viac o knihe

The book critiques the transformation of art and culture into mere 'creative industries' by the British government, highlighting the consequences of this shift. It explores the current state of culture, marked by exhausted workers, insufficient funding, and a focus on economic output over artistic integrity. Amid geopolitical turmoil, it argues that this de-politicization undermines democratic citizenship and human rights. Advocating for a renewed social contract, it presents a bold vision for re-establishing art and culture as essential to a more equitable future.
