Governance of Culture
Words of Caution
From: Accounting for Culture
$1.68
Culture, cultural value, and heritage are all weasel words and connote multidimensional, shifting, and elusive realities.
The deconstruction of these concepts and of these realities with the scalpel of a national accountant is likely to generate precise but meaningless numbers unless one first clarifies a few notions.
