'This book is a major contribution to the current hot debate on cultural work. It asks questions not just about exploitation and sacrificial labour or about diversity and representation. It goes beyond these to ask what’s at stake in cultural work? What values do cultural workers bring and how do they sustain in increasingly challenging circumstances? After the end of the creative industries, what is the way forward for art and culture and those who dedicate their lives to producing them?' Justin O'Connor, University of South Australia 'A brave undertaking, analysing the growing creative economy discourse and policy frames of independent cultural work, this book comes as a highly recommend read and will appeal to cultural workers and researchers alike, helping to understand the continuing struggles and the strengths of the contemporary creative workforce and advocating culture and cultural work as a global public good.' Simone Wesner, International Journal of Cultural Policy
