Description
This excerpt from the book, "Cultural Industries and the Production of Culture" discusses how the cultural industries have become increasingly important in recent years, and how they can be used to improve economic and social conditions.
Since the Second World War there has been considerable growth in the importance of non-manufacturing based forms of production to the performance of many Western economies. Many countries have seen increased contributions being made by industries such as the media, entertainment and artistic sectors. Gathering together a leading international, multi disciplinary team of researchers, this informative book presents cutting-edge perspectives on how these industries function, their place in the new economy and how they can be harnessed for urban and regional economic and social development.
