This book reassesses central topics in cultural economics: Public
finance and public choice theory as the basis for decision-making
in cultural and media policy, the role of welfare economics in
cultural policy, the economics of creative industries, the
application of empirical testing to the performing arts and the
economics of cultural heritage. Cultural economics has made
enormous progress over the last 50 years, to which Alan Peacock
made an important contribution. The volume brings together many of
the senior figures, whose contributions to the various special
fields of cultural economics have been instrumental in the
development of the subject, and others reflecting on the subject's
progress and assessing its future direction. Alan Peacock has been
one of the leading lights of cultural economics and in this volume
Ilde Rizzo and Ruth Towse and the other contributors ably capture
the import of his contributions in a broader context of political
economy. In doing so, they offer an overview of progress in
cultural economics over the last forty years. Tyler Cowen,
Professor of Economics and Director of the Mecatus Center, George
Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia, USA A fitting tribute to
Professor Sir Alan Peacock's inspiring intellect leadership and his
outstandingly rich and varied legacy in the domain of cultural
economics, this book draws together illuminating analyses and
insights from leading cultural economists about the role and value
of this dynamic and increasingly policy-relevant field of enquiry.
Gillian Doyle, Professor of Media Economics and Director of Centre
for Cultural Policy Research, University of Glasgow, UK
