Features: This book presents fundamental perspectives on the cultural industry that differ from the Western "culture industry theory" and the domestic "cultural sector industry theory." It argues that the cultural industry is distinct from material industries such as agriculture, industry, and commerce, representing the modern form of spiritual productivity and a new, advanced emerging industry. Based on Marxist theories of social and spiritual production, the author, from the vantage point of the new era, combines philosophical and empirical analysis to make bold attempts and valuable explorations into the foundational theories of the cultural industry, proposing groundbreaking insights. Additionally, by examining the specific practices of cultural industry development in coastal regions, the author conducts highly targeted research on the strategies, mechanisms, and prospects for developing the cultural industry in China at the current stage. The book offers numerous practical and actionable suggestions, including many insightful observations.
