Description

Unfree Masters: Popular Music and the Politics of Work by Matt Stahl explores the often-overlooked realities of creative work in the music industry. Stahl argues that the perception of recording artists as free individuals doing enjoyable work obscures the complexities of their occupation. The author examines the ways in which the music industry operates, revealing the power dynamics at play and the ways in which artists are treated as commodities. This thought-provoking analysis sheds light on the often-hidden politics of creative labor. By examining the intersection of popular music and the law, Stahl provides a nuanced understanding of the music industry's inner workings.
