Arts & Market

by Richard K. Miller (Author),‎ Kelli Washington (Author)

Americans agree about government arts funding in the way the women in the old joke agree about the food at the wedding: it's terrible–and such small portions! Americans typically either want to abolish the National Endowment for the Arts, or they believe that public arts funding should be dramatically increased because the arts cannot survive in the free market. It would take a lover of the arts who is also a libertarian economist to bridge such a gap. Enter Tyler Cowen. In this book he argues why the U.S. way of funding the arts, while largely indirect, results not in the terrible and the small but in Good and Plenty–and how it could result in even more and better.

A recording of Loreena’s ground-breaking 1994 recording, The Mask and Mirror, was captured live at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco on May 19th 1994, originally for radio syndication throughout the U.S. and Canada. On June 14th, it will be released as The Mask and Mirror Live – and it’s available to you for pre-order now.
