Beskrivning
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.

Recensioner i media

'Beyond Price is an important contribution to the growing interdisciplinary literature on the varied notions of “value” and in particular the conflicts between traditional economics-centered and culture-centered conceptions of value. These issues are of great moment in all cultural disciplines, including cultural economics, the home field of the collection. The book moves the literature a step ahead by focusing on how and why the methodological innovations implied by this work should be implemented. The contributing scholars are first-rate, and Hutter and Throsby themselves have very strong and distinguished reputations in the field of cultural economics.' Randall Mason, University of Pennsylvania
