- Synopsis
- Aimed at students and general readers, this text traces the historical evolution of entertainment as an economic entity in 20th-century America. The volume is organized roughly chronologically, and six representative types of entertainment are examined: vaudeville, recorded sound, movies, radio, television, and spectator sports. In the final chapter, Haupert (economics, U. of Wisconsin-LaCrosse) profiles 15 individuals who had a profound effect on the entertainment industry.
