• Kitsch and Classicism: the Male Nude in the 20th Century.
• (source: Nielsen Book Data)

In this timely and important collection of recent writings by a leading commentator, Sir Samuel Brittan expounds an individualist vision of liberalism which welcomes some of the New Labour policy initiatives, but rejects its communitarian rhetoric as well as its authoritarian echoes on the Right. This vision forms the context in which a number of current issues are discussed: the globalisation of the economy, the future of state-provided welfare, and the control of inflation among them. Sir Samuel does not limit himself to critical analysis of the past and the future: he sets out an agenda for the future in which are combined idealism and realism, frequently invoking the spirit and thought of David Hume himself.

The protection of intellectual property--patents, copyrightand trade marks--is generally regarded as a high policy priority in the UK and the European Union. This book asks why this should be so. Is too much intellectual property actually bad for industry, trade and competition? Does intellectual property really provide an incentive for innovation through the creation of wealth? The contributors, who include the Patent Judges of the English High Court, argue that the present law and its further extension should receive much more critical scrutiny, in particular from an economic perspective. Topics covered include copyright with especial reference to the performing arts and the growth of new technology, especially biotechnology and the Internet. The book offers an up-to-date picture of intellectual property law and a critical analysis of its future development.

Available by subscription or individually through bookshops, "The Hume Papers on Public Policy", a quarterly journal, replaces the series of short monographs previously published by the David Hume Institute under the general title of "The Hume Papers". The journal is a forum for the publication of research on issues of public policy with especial reference to legal and economic aspects. Each issue deals with topical subjects in an accessible and scholarly way, and some are thematically linked. This volume of the journal updates the story of copyright, design and patents. It relates the history and assesses the limitations of copyright law from its inception in 1709, through the 1959 and 1988 Acts, to the present day. Detailing some of the seminal cases in the development of copyright law, this is a jargon-free and comprehensive guide to a complex area of law. The work is intended for students and lawyers specializing in intellectual property and competition.

Public broadcasting is under threat. The BBC is facing its greatest challenge since its inception as satellite channels proliferate and private sector broadcasting becomes more cost effective. This book examines the trends in public broadcasting and assesses how public broadcasters can adapt to change. It suggests that public broadcasters will face a decade of reduced audiences and revenues and rising costs. Public and political support will be eroded as the range and choice of TV and radio programmes provided by the private sector multiplies. Public broadcasters will face pressures to cut costs and improve their public accountability. Against this pessimistic background the book examines the measures public broadcasters should take to improve their efficiency and accountability, and stresses the benefits of involving the public in the process of redefining aims and objectives. Finally, it assesses the potential benefits of privatization for public broadcasters.
