Clare Jacobson · 2013
A visual survey of the rapid construction of art museums in China and the state's use of architecture.
Tyler Cowen recommends it because the book offers significant lessons regarding how the Chinese state utilizes aesthetics.
A speaker recommends a book written by someone else.
“Claire Jacobson, New Museums in China. It's mostly a picture book. A lot of them are still empty, but the construction boom there and how the Chinese state tried to use aesthetics, that book has very important lessons, and we should all think about that more.”
Why: That book has very important lessons, and we should all think about that more.
