1. Culture Crash
The Killing of the Creative Class
An urgent critique of how market forces, technological change, and corporate consolidation have hollowed out the cultural ecosystem, leaving artists, critics, and cultural workers increasingly precarious and underpaid; it traces the decline of local institutions, the rise of algorithmic gatekeepers, and the shrinking middle-ground that once allowed diverse voices and professions to thrive, and argues that this erosion of cultural infrastructure has broad civic and democratic consequences while calling for public investment, labor protections, and new institutions to repair and sustain cultural life.
