He balances seductive anecdotes — pulling back the curtain on the gritty and absurd side of the industry — with an insightful exploration of the relationship between creativity and money. This book describes the evolution of the industry from 1713 - the year parliament granted writers ownership over what they wrote — to today, when a global, 100 billion pound industry is controlled by just three major players: Sony, Universal and Warner.
