The book "Cultural Economics" offers a comprehensive analysis of the intersection between culture and economy. This academic work examines how economic aspects are increasingly gaining importance in culture and what political decisions are being made in this area. Author Ruth Towse and other economists from 15 different countries present a variety of topics that cover both theoretical and practical questions in the field of cultural economics. These include, among others, the performing arts, art markets, and museums. The book represents a current engagement with the application of economic concepts to cultural issues and is aimed at professionals as well as those interested in the economic dimensions of culture.
