Creative Industries is a daring collection of essays that charts the noisy revolution that is transforming the production, consumption, and understanding of culture in the all-wired era. It brings together seminal essays written across traditional and new media, industry sectors, and national contexts to demonstrate that content still drives a value-neutral, knowledge economy.
I can certainly see why cultural studies has declined since the 2000s. Creative industries textbooks such as this have presented really basic ideas, answering questions that no one was asking.
The GFC showed the flaw with this model of the political economy. Unfortunately, this model of creative industries killed cultural studies on the way through to this textbook.
