About this listen

In the first episode of a new season, we sit down with Justin O’Connor. A global policy expert, author, and a Professor of Cultural Economy at the University of South Australia. In this episode, we talk about his book Culture Is Not an Industry: Reclaiming Art and Culture for the Common Good. Justin explains how theoretically poor the concept of the ‘creative industry’ actually is, and how it has messed up cultural policy in many countries. We then talk about an alternative policy vision: art and culture for the common good, anchored in the foundational economy.
