Review: "It's no secret that art and business mix. But have things gotten out of hand? Museum, Inc. describes from the inside the new art conglomerates, whose roots are deeply imbedded in corporate culture. A critical analysis based on the author's nine years at the Guggenheim Museum, this pamphlet shows that the "Global Museum" is not the radical break with the past it claims to be but a logical outcome in the evolution of cultural institutions rooted in the eighteenth-century Enlightenment, the colonial expansion of the liberal nation-state, and the rhetoric of freedom and democracy."--BOOK JACKET.
