Business books and Stalinist Realism

Adrian Furnham

A chapter in Management and Myths, 2004, pp 34-35 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Dictators throughout history have had an ambivalent relationship with artists. Architects, painters and sculptors have often been targeted as deeply undesirable citizens. Political potentates particularly dislike the ‘avant-garde’ artists and their fellow travellers. They see art as potentially corrupting and artists as having crypto-political, dangerous, left-wing agendas. Art is spin for the masses and needs to be controlled, indeed harnessed. Censorship is common in dictatorial regimes.
