Thesis The Classical Art of Economics
For Stuart Mill art and literature convey a kind of many sidedness that is useful in situations of complex decision making and the promotion of liberty. Comparing the (booming) european world of the time to China's incapicity to evolve (during the 19th c), he considered many sidedness as a key for progress and economic growth. For that matter Mill sticks to the mental framework of liberalism Gibbon expanded: the development of the culture and the arts means that a civilization is at its peak.
Check out Richard Florida's thesis on the art core of the city and economic development.
Have you seen the work being done by Jacque Fresco on http://www.thevenusproject.com/? I see this initiative as a major fusion of art and economics. Great question, Joseph. Thanks!
