This book brings together two very disparate areas, economics and culture, considering both the economic aspects of cultural activity, and the cultural context of economics and economic behavior. The author discusses how cultural goods are valued in both economic and cultural terms, and introduces the concepts of cultural capital and sustainability.
Could be helpful in looking at the fetishistic side of the argument- what makes us want to own these objects, why are they so important to Invidious and Conspicuous consumption?
