Art and economics ...

Michael Blowhard comments on Tyler Cowen's New Book. (Hat tip, Inquirer economics columnist Andy Cassel.)

I mentioned the other day that, once upon a time, I was a gallery director. It's a wonderful way of curing yourself of any romantic notions regarding the art world. As an art critic and I once concluded, if what goes on in the art world every day of the week went on in the halls of government or on Wall Street, people would go to jail.
