What Matters? Talking Value in Australian Culture by Julian Meyrick, Robert Phiddian and Tully Barnett explores the challenges of valuing culture in contemporary society. The authors argue that our concept of value has been distorted by political forces and methodological confusions, leading to a dire effect on how we assess culture. The book examines the major tensions in evaluation strategies and proposes practical solutions to the current metric madness. Through concrete examples, it delves into the complexities of cultural valuation, highlighting the need for a more nuanced approach. By finding a better way to talk about culture, we can find a better way to value it. This book intervenes in an important debate about the public value of culture, seeking to bridge the gap between hard-headed analysis and soft-hearted appreciation.
