<P>Book Description<BR>This is the first book to cover not only the economics of the fine arts and performing arts, </P>
<P>but also public policy toward the arts at federal, state, and local levels in the United States. </P>
<P>The second edition offers greater coverage of the international arts sector. The work will interest academic readers</P>
<P> as a supplementary text on the sociology of the arts, as well as general readers seeking a systematic analysis of the economics of the arts.</P>
<P> Theoretical concepts are developed from scratch so that readers with no background in economics can follow the argument.</P>
