Arts Inc. How Greed and Neglect have destroyed our cultural rights
A book written by Bill Ivey, the former chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, assessing the current state of the arts in America. While celebrating America’s ever-emerging culture and the way it enriches lives around the world, he points to a looming crisis. The expanding footprint of copyright, an unconstrained arts industry marketplace, and a government unwilling to engage culture as a serious arena for public policy have come together to undermine art, artistry, and cultural heritage--the expressive life of America. In eight succinct chapters, Ivey blends personal and professional memoir, policy analysis, and deeply held convictions to explore and define a coordinated vision for art, culture, and expression in American life.
