Popular Music in the Post-Digital Age explores how changes in the economy and technology affect popular music for both the economy and culture at large. Citing Jacques Attali's theory that music runs parallel to human society, is structured like it, and changes when it does, this... book presents a study of wider economic, political, and cultural changes under the impact of neoliberalism.
