Cheap, easy self-producing is eroding the position of the gatekeepers and guardians of culture. Does this revolution herald the collapse of culture, as some commentators claim? Far from it. In \u003ci\u003eDigital Renaissance\u003c\/i\u003e, Joel Waldfogel argues that digital technology is enabling a new golden age of popular culture--a digital renaissance. Analyzing decades of production and sales data, as well as bestseller and best-of lists, Waldfogel finds that the new digital model is just as powerful at generating high-quality, successful work as the old industry model, and in many cases more so.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joel Waldfogel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691208646\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691208640\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/08\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.20w x 1.10d","brand":"Joel Waldfogel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986513887487,"sku":"9780691208640","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5138a4b0-e8f9-4add-80e0-e2c8be1c2fc5.jpg?v=1683283793","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/digital-renaissance-joel-waldfogel-9780691208640","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
