Summary

Private Museum Boom explores the increasing prevalence of privately funded museums and their significant impact on the art world. These institutions are reshaping art markets, influencing cultural accessibility, and redefining art patronage. The book argues that this rise signifies a power shift, affecting art valuation and the preservation of cultural heritage. Understanding this dynamic is crucial for anyone involved in the art world.

 
The text examines the historical context of art collecting, tracing the evolution of museums to today's privately funded spaces. It analyzes the economic forces driving this "museum boom," such as the increasing concentration of wealth and the rising value of art as an investment.

 
The book is structured in three sections: introducing key players and museum models, analyzing the impacts on the art market, and examining ethical and societal implications. The book presents information in an accessible style, avoiding jargon and using concrete examples. It navigates controversies, considering both the benefits, like increased art access, and concerns, such as elitism and market manipulation. By connecting economics, sociology, and art history, Private Museum Boom provides a balanced view of private museums and their role in the evolving art landscape.

    An expansive and accessible account of anarchism as a theory of practice. 
 
 
 
Means and Ends is a new overview of the revolutionary strategy of anarchism in Europe and the United States between 1868 and 1939. Zoe Baker clearly and accessibly explains the ideas that historical anarchists developed in order to change the world. This includes their views on direct action, revolution, organization, state socialism, reforms, and trade unions. Throughout, she demonstrates that the reasons anarchists gave for supporting or opposing particular strategies were grounded in a theoretical framework—a theory of practice—which maintained that, as people engage in activity, they simultaneously change the world and themselves. This theoretical framework was the foundation for the anarchist commitment to the unity of means and ends: the means that revolutionaries propose to achieve social change have to involve forms of activity which transform people into individuals who are capable of, and driven to, both overthrow capitalism and the state and build a free society. The consistent heart of anarchism was the idea that anarchist ends can only be achieved through anarchist means. Cutting through misconceptions and historical inaccuracies, Baker draws upon a vast assortment of examples to show how this simple premise underpinned anarchist attempts to put theory into action.

    This program is read by the author.Victoria Wellman’s Before You Say Anything invites listeners into the game-changing creative process of New York’s busiest speechwriter, delivering actionable insights for anyone tasked with speaking in public.In the age of information and influence, the ability to authentically express yourself in words has become both a rite of passage and an essential skill for anyone who wants to make a difference—however modest or grand—in their family, community, workplace, or at the podium in front of thousands. And yet the conventional wisdom around what resonates for today’s speakers and their audiences has failed to evolve, leaving speakers wondering how they will craft a speech that provides the individuality, originality and authenticity our culture demands. While we can’t all be the next Amanda Gorman, however, there is a roadmap every speaker can follow—regardless of their experience—to elevate a narrative from serviceable to unforgettable. This is true whether you are roasting a colleague at an office party, delivering a keynote industry address, accepting an award, or eulogizing a loved one.In Before You Say Anything, Victoria Wellman—the founder and president of Manhattan-based speechwriting company The Oratory Laboratory—shares her unique methodology for researching, reimagining, crafting, and delivering a professional quality speech by focusing on three core objectives: respect for the audience, the restless pursuit of originality, and intentionality behind every word. Full of hilarious anecdotes and examples from Wellman’s extensive experience as the go-to speechwriter for power players and everyday people from around the world, Before You Say Anything is an irresistible antidote to the age-old doctrine of what a speech must include. Instead it will leave readers with an enlightened and refreshing way of thinking about their sources, ideas and material, and a strategy of putting it all to use.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Press
