This monograph is an innovative examination of the political
economy of music. It integrates original economic theories and
empirical research to shed light on the economic and social forces
shaping music and society today. Interactive relationships, such as
the importance of entrepreneurship, serendipity and authenticity,
will be explored in artist subjective determinations of success. In
particular this book deeply explores the mental health of musicians
and "creative destruction" during the Covid era, copyrights in
music markets, and an evaluation of the importance of
entrepreneurship and brand marketing in the life of musical
artists. The monograph contributes empirical research to
under-explored areas in the cultural economics of music such as the
proposed musical production function in Samuel Cameron (Routledge
2015) and the concept of distinction in cultural production by
Pierre Bourdieu (Routledge 1984, 2010) as uniquely applied with
examples from the covid-era. Readers will benefit from this
easy-to-understand interdisciplinary exploration of music industry
with a focus on the United States and the political economy of
music during the covid-era. Most cultural economics is focused on
Europe and Asia, so this emphasis on the United States will be of
interest. This book will be a beneficial reference work for
researchers and will find an audience among music professionals and
artists. Academics and non-academics, experts and novices
interested in music and political economy will also find value in
Artists and Markets in Music.
