In his book The Economics of Creativity: Art and Achievement under Uncertainty (2014), the distinguished sociologist Pierre-Michel Menger offers an analysis of artistic creativity that seeks a middle path between two equally unsatisfactory propositions: on the one hand, the traditional aesthetic approach that sees artistic success as solely a function of inherent genius; and on the other, the more recent sociological approach that attributes it solely to politics, powerful patrons, or luck. In this round table, the author discusses his work with two other distinguished sociologists of music: Georgina Born, the author among other books of Rationalizing Culture: IRCAM, Boulez and the Institutionalization of the Musical Avant-Garde, and Howard Becker, perhaps most famous for his book Art Worlds. The round table will be chaired by Nicholas Cook (University of Cambridge).
