The piece about “pull the plug” that I can’t reconcile: 40% of the NEA’s budget passes thru to state arts councils, to fund locally. Cutting the agency means cutting that more local source of support, which is hard to reconcile with the policy goals to “push it to the states” in other policy areas.

Thank you for this very interesting post. I was wondering if you had ever published anything about the only temporary nature of public grants for artistic and cultural activities. I know that economists like Keynes and Peacock supported this idea and I recently read an article on the subject (https://theconversation.com/why-public-funding-of-the-arts-should-always-be-temporary-59469). Please do you know any other articles supporting this idea?
