| Sumario: | "This book presents a vigorous case for the arts, arguing for their crucial political, cultural, and economic contributions to civil society"-- "This book examines fundamental questions about funding for the arts: Why should governments provide funding for the arts? What do the arts contribute to daily life? Do artists and their publics have a social responsibility?
