Abstract

This introductory chapter unveils the concept of ‘intimate capitalism’ within the context of the rising cultural economy and creative industries. The assimilation of culture with capitalism has helped produce a mass culture that socialises people with the culture of capitalism, effectively domesticating and controlling the masses by establishing an intimate relationship between labour and working conditions. The chapter also provides a summary of the arguments presented in the other chapters of this volume.
