Pierre Bourdieu:
 Existence of Social class is a basic social fact
 We live in a high stratified class society
continuously, based on economic capital and
cultural capital
 The society tries to keep the upper class powerful
and the lower classes powerless
 Much happens unintentionally; no conscious
manipulation by the powerful
CLASS, LIFESTYLE AND POWER

 Aalborg School: ' learning economy '  culture as open
secret (Bengt-ke Lundvall, et al.)
 National innovation systems
 Culture defines the ' open secret , ' concealed knowledge ',
cannot be ' transported ' , nor outsourced, specific
knowledge linked to source and location
Culture as a source of competitive advantage (Michael
Porter, et al.)
 Globalization: makes displacement production possible
 Cultural economy : hard to imitate competitive
advantage (a niche market)
 Cultural differences deliver distinctive products and
services (international specialization)
Culture in contemporary economical theory
Liberalisme: Adam Smith
 Production should be done by individual
entrepreneurs, within maximal freedom
 The invisible hand: price mechanisms, supply and
demand arrange the fine-tuning of production and
societal needs
 The State as much limited as possible:
1. National defence
2. Legal justice
3. Collective investments  of relevance for the economy
 where no profit can be made (roads, bridges,
infrastructure, etc)
Social-liberalisme: Keynes
 Fiscal policy (government taxing and spending)
can be used to control the economy
 Government can stimulate demand by
increasing governmental spending
 Stimulate employment by public investments
(public projects, improvement of spending
power, labour hours regulations)
 Society should be built up form the grass-roots;
corprorate structures, subsidiarity-principle
 Short-term strategies are important
Monetarisme:
Milton Friedman
 Its all about the money, stupid!
 Regulate the growth of money
 Always fight inflation
 Central banks rule!
 Growth is defined by the amount of money
available
 Thatcher/Reagen: liberalisation of
financial markets, stimulate borrowing
The holy Trinity
Arts
Markets
The
nation
state
Why are artists poor?
 Vocation: willingness to accept
low income
 At the same time mental
support of society
 Distinction: high/low art
 No link quality/price?
 Aesthetic value = social value
 Government encourages
experts' = interference in the
market
 Ideology: Artist = unselfish
Five explanations
1. Personal gratification, recognition and status
more important than money
2. Artists poorly informed about incomes
needed
3. Grants deliver more Artists, no higher
income
4. Artists rely on other sources of income
5. Cuts in labor (higher productivity) not taken
place in the arts
6. Myth of the individualistic Artist prevents
organized pressure groups (trade unions)
Two cases
 Utrecht Centraal Museum
 Het Huis Utrecht
The assignment: develop a management statement for the upcoming four years
Thats
the way
its done!
