Are you sceptical about the importance of arts and culture,
especially about their possible impact on politics and the economy?
This volume outlines a new framework for analysis of democratic
participation and economic growth and explores how these new
patterns work around the world. The new framework joins two past
traditions; however, their background histories are clearly
separate. Democratic participation ideas come mostly from Alexis de
Tocqueville, while innovation/bohemian ideas driving the economy
are largely inspired by Joseph Schumpeter and Jane Jacobs. New
developments building on these core ideas are detailed in the first
two sections of this volume. But these chapters in turn show that
more detailed work within each tradition leads to an integration of
the two: participation joins innovation. This is the main theme in
the book's third section, the buzz around arts and culture
organizations, and how they can transform politics, economics, and
social life.
