Book review: the Oxford handbook of creative industries edited by Candace Jones, Mark Lorenzen and Jonathan Sapsed

The creative industries are on the rise across the globe and their economic importance is also increasing. Through their new book, The Oxford Handbook of Creative Industries, editors Candace Jones, Mark Lorenzen and Jonathan Sapsed offer a collection of scholarly articles reflecting on this growing sector through a number of disciplinary lenses, including economics, public policy, management and law. Elisa Pannini finds this a useful read not only for scholars researching the field, but also for creative professionals engaged with the issues shaping their sphere of work.
