'The first edition of A Textbook of Cultural Economics has become a standard work providing an accessible introduction to the application of economic principles and methods to problems in the arts. The book is distinguished by its respect for economic theory, its use of data, and its wealth of illustrative examples. The second edition retains the content and attractive features of the first, but extends the coverage in many ways including the addition of new chapters on the digital economy and the games industry. This book can be highly recommended to students, arts and culture professionals, policy-makers and others as a sound and comprehensive introduction to an increasingly important field of economics.'
