Reviews

Can't Buy Me Love? Over 100 million albums sold say otherwise. Sam Staley uses the lens of economics as your Ticket to Ride from Penny Lane to Taxman. You can't buy love...but you can buy this book! - Professor Dirk Mateer, University of Arizona, USA Sam Staley's new book does something unique: It explains core principles of cultural entrepreneurship, not by statistical analysis (as in the research literature) or by sketchy anecdotes, but by a sustained, detailed analysis of a team of cultural entrepreneurs, namely The Beatles. As such, it fills an important gap in modern writing on cultural economics and entrepreneurship. The book is extremely well-written, and although it makes use of much economics and management theory it is highly accessible. - Professor Nicolai Foss, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark

It will be a good addition to the Beatles book shelf. - Todd Lowry, Former Director of Business and Legal Affairs, Hal Leonard Company, musician, and arranger of The Complete Beatles If you think business is just money and greed, you'll be sadly oblivious to most of what goes on in the world. In The Beatles and Economics, Sam Staley explains that even in the business end of arts and culture, exciting and even inspirational developments define daily life. For both personal fulfillment and a flourishing, vibrant society, nothing beats economic freedom - Lawrence W. Reed, President Emeritus, Foundation for Economic Education, USA
