How can arts managers, artists, and art market observers approach the study of economics? Accompanied by hand-drawn illustrations, wide-ranging case studies, and expansive discussion resources, this interdisciplinary microeconomics primer engages with complex - and, at turns, political - questions of value and resourcefulness with the artist or manager as the decision-maker and the gallery, museum or studio as 'the firm'. Whitaker arms the reader with analytic and creative tools that can be used in service to economic sustainability for artists and organizations. By exploring the complexities of economics in application to art, design and creative industries, this book offers ways to approach the larger world as an art project.

'In spite of the romantic ideal that creative expression should exist independently of calculation and exchange, art and artists are intimately entangled in markets. In this lucid and wide-ranging book, Amy Whitaker combines incisive economic analysis with great insight to and sympathy with the world inhabited by artists. This is an essential guide for anyone seeking to understand a unique sphere of economic and cultural life.' William Davies, University of London, author of Nervous States and The Limits of Neoliberalism
