I have started reading the book The Art of Possibility. One of the co-authors works in the arts. Part of the authors' premise is that the arts now are in the position to create values and direction for people because government and religion no longer do (or can) This is interesting to think about. The authors feel the arts are necessary to create values because RELIGION and government NO LONGER create peoples values . . .
Here is a quote from the book that stopped me in my tracks:
"In our new global society, no institution has the wide acceptance to create values and direction for the majority of people. Markets in free societies are rapidly replacing governments and religious institutions as regulators of the highest authority, and markets perform without values; they do not converse in a human tongue."
