Description

Aesthetic Economy is a theory of,the recent development of capitalism in our national economies. Basic needs are easily satisfied and, as a result, most commodities,are no longer intended for,consumption, but for the staging,of our lives. That is, they are used to produce atmospheres. Applications of the theory are found wherever staging is performed: in commodity aesthetics in marketing, as well as in the,sphere of production. As to technology we find a turn from useful,to joyful technology. And the technology of entertainment has,become a huge part of the general,economy. Similarly, a further horizon of Aesthetic Economy is to be seen in the aestheticization of politics, the staging of sporting events and the management of culture.
