Britain began the twenty-first century convinced of its creativity.
Throughout the New Labour era, the visual and performing arts,
museums and galleries, were ceaselessly promoted as a stimulus to
national economic revival, a post-industrial revolution where
spending on culture would solve everything, from national decline
to crime. Tony Blair heralded it a "golden age." Yet despite huge
investment, the audience for the arts remained a privileged
minority. So what went wrong? In Cultural Capital, leading
historian Robert Hewison gives an in-depth account of how creative
Britain lost its way. From Cool Britannia and the Millennium Dome
to the Olympics and beyond, he shows how culture became a
commodity, and how target-obsessed managerialism stifled
creativity. In response to the failures of New Labour and the
austerity measures of the Coalition government, Hewison argues for
a new relationship between politics and the arts.
