Françoise Benhamou, Status and Financing of the Cultural Sector. State of the Debates
The arguments that prevailed with economists in order to define the validity of public intervention in the cultural sector led them to viciously criticise the functioning of institutions. This critic has been relayed in historical works or more controversial publications, during the 80' and the 90'. Does this means a consensus has been reached, in favour of a return to the market?

Key Words : culture, public, market
