A Future for the American Economy
The American economy is filled with so many contradictions today that it foils the best prophecies and most sophisticated forecasts by economists. This book is about those contradictions and the directions the economy could take in the future. In particular, it is about the central contradiction: government control and market freedom. How this contradiction is resolved is important not only for the United States but ultimately for countries around the world.

David Dellinger

Art in Public
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? Challenging questionable assumptions about the state, the arts and a democratic society, Lambert Zuidervaart presents a vigorous case for government funding, based on crucial contributions the arts make to civil society. He argues that the arts contribute to democratic communication and a social economy, fostering the critical and creative dialogue that a democratic society needs. Informed by the author's experience leading a non-profit arts organisation as well as his expertise in the arts, humanities and social sciences, this book proposes an entirely new conception of the public role of art with wide-ranging implications for education, politics and cultural policy.
