Platform Papers 9: What Price a Creative Economy? (Paperback)

Paperback. Stuart Cunningham, Director of the Brisbane Centre for Excellence for Creative Industries and Innovation, proposes a new way of looking, not only at culture and creative expression, but also at what is needed to strengthen our creative economy. In so doing he provides fresh evidence for renewing the case for public investment. Cultural economics has given reason for governments to subsidise the arts, and the idea of cultural industries has given governments reasons to regulate and further develop cultural policy. This essay looks at policies developed in other parts of the world that seek broader evidence of how creativity might be integrated in society.
