Theatre in Market Economies explores the complex relationship
between theatre and the market economy since the 1990s. Bringing
together research from the arts and social sciences, the book
proposes that theatre has increasingly taken up the mission of the
'mixed economy' by seeking to combine economic efficiency with
social security while promoting liberal democracy. McKinnie
situates this analysis within a wider context, in which the welfare
state's tools have been used to regulate, ever more closely, the
lives of citizens rather than the operations of markets. In the
process, the book invites us to think in new ways about
longstanding economic and political problems in and through the
theatre: the nature of industry, productivity, citizenship,
security and economic confidence. Theatre in Market Economies
depicts a theatre that is not only a familiar cultural institution
but is, in unexpected and often ambiguous ways, an exemplary
political-economic one as well.
