Throughout the New Labour era the visual and performing arts museums and galleries were ceaselessly promoted as a stimulus to national economic revival a post - industrial revolution where spending on culture would solve everything from national decline to crime. Tony Blair heralded it a \"golden age.\" Yet despite huge investment the audience for the arts remained a privileged minority. So what went wrong? In Cultural Capital leading historian Robert Hewison gives an in - depth account of how creative Britain lost its way. From Cool Britannia and the Millennium Dome to the Olympics and beyond he shows how culture became a commodity and how target - obsessed managerialism stifled creativity. In response to the failures of New Labour and the austerity measures of the Coalition government Hewison argues for a new relationship between politics and the arts.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Cultural Capital The Rise And Fall Of Creative Britain\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Hewison Robert\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Verso Books\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781781685914\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 240 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 11\/11\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Central Government Policies","brand":"Hewison Robert","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51336643969329,"sku":"IN-G-9781781685914","price":21.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781781685914.jpg?v=1746965797","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781781685914-cultural-capital-the-rise-and-fall-of-creative-britain","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
