In Reply to: Economics is the dismal science, because of what it predicts.... posted by TGR on December 9, 2016 at 09:01:32:
Support for the arts throughout Europe comes not so much from local government, but from national governments that view their cultural mission as a public service. In Germany, the federal funding supports almost 10,000 musicians in the 150 or so supported classical orchestras and other ensembles. Cultural programming on TV and radio is abundant and high quality.
This is true (in varying degrees) throughout the EU, as there is continuing commitment to preserve the cultural heritage of their countries and concomitantly to public education.
As a result, all citizens of the EU enjoy edifying and enriching access to the arts. Not only music, but theater, dance, museums, etc. That benefit is society-wide, unlike the U.S. where education and access to the arts tends to be a niche for the well-heeled and well-educated. This is especially true as NPR and Public Television have progressively curtailed their efforts to offer high art programming.
