His recent book, Arts, Inc: How Greed and Neglect Have Destroyed Our Cultural Rights, “examines our emerging culture and how it may lead to a looming crisis. The expanding footprint of copyright, an unconstrained arts industry marketplace, and a government unwilling to engage culture as a serious arena for public policy have come together to undermine art, artistry and cultural heritage—the expressive life of America.”
