Beyond Price: Value in Culture, Economics, and the Arts (Murphy Institute Studies in Political Economy) - Softcover
Synopsis
How do we place a value on a painting, or a piece of music, or a traditional ritual? The market can determine a price in monetary terms for a variety of cultural phenomena, but how much does that tell us about the real value of these things? This book explores the tensions between economic and cultural value from a range of disciplinary viewpoints and provides many new insights into how value is constructed in contemporary society.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Much recent discussion surrounding valuation of the arts and culture, particularly in the policy arena, has been dominated by a concern to identify an economic and financial basis for valuation of art works, arts, activities and more general ways in which we express our culture. Whereas a great deal can be gained from a fuller understanding of the economic value of art, there is a real danger that financial considerations will tend to crowd out all other aspects of value. This book moves beyond the limitations implicit in a narrow economic approach, bringing different disciplinary viewpoints together, opening up a dialogue between scholars about the processes of valuation that they use and exploring differences and identifying common ground between the various viewpoints. The book's common theme the tension between economic and cultural modes of evaluation unites the chapters, making it a coherent and unified volume that provides a new and unique perspective on how we value art. How do we place a value on a painting, or a piece of music, or a traditional ritual?
