really focuses on the globalization of cultures
When I bought this book, I was expecting some economical theories especially on Shumpeter' 'Creative Destruction', but T. Cowen really emphasizes on the exposure of culture exchange in today's world.
He really gives good examples, that he explains in details (sometimes it is a bit repetitive).
In summary, I would say that it is a very interesting book to read on globalization because it shows a different aspect of it.

the economics of culture
Cowen's book is one of the few books to
discuss free trade in the context of
cultural goods. easy and fun to read.
No economics background needed.
You will learn a lot about
the history of different cultural goods, including
persian rugs and the successful
movie industry in India (Bollywood).
simply great!
