Accounting for Tastes

Accounting for Tastes is the most systematic and substantial study of Australian cultural tastes preferences and activities ever published. While based on the findings of a survey the book also includes transcripts from interviews where respondents talk freely about what governs their tastes and preferences in home furnishings music books sports television programs and art. It is a book that makes a substantial contribution to the empirical and policy-oriented social inquiry into questions of cultural practices and preferences.
