It is time we had an interdisciplinary world. It is time we created a society where all levels of thinking and society can work together – so the individual psychologies can live together in a more
integrated society. Interdisciplinary thinking tries to promote environmentalism, capitalism, religion, heroic
individualism, and families simultaneously. Beauty, truth, and ethics are united.

Deirdre McCloskey on the Arts and Economics
Economist Deirdre McCloskey on the arts and economics. Some really interesting ideas here. A challenge to artists to represent more of the world than we typically do.

Tell her to find some artists making work now and promote them. Not picking out some dead people and promoting them. She is not looking hard enough, because she is stuck in mud of past. Find the new and make everyone know about them. And not all abstract art isn't only anti-cap, but I do agree that much of abstract art is the attempt to become closer to music.
She was talking about the history of the arts and their attitude toward capitalism. That's why she talked more about literature than the visual arts, and more about the visual arts than music -- each in the order of ability to discuss the arts in relation to obvious attitudes toward capitalism.
