On art and economics. Towards an economics of beauty

Other Publications, Reports 17 Pekka Korpinen

Little is yet known about the mutual dependencies between art and economics. In this book, D.Soc.Sc. Pekka Korpinen analyses, among other things, the stylistic variations in visual art from antiquity to the present day that stem from the long cycles of the economy. The book also reflects on the impact of art on economic growth. Pekka Korpinen sees great potential hidden in culture for putting a withering Europe back on a path of renewal and growth. “On Art and Economics” is an accessible and immersive journey to the roots of European culture.
