Title: The Substance of Style
Abstract: An insightful and interesting discussion about how U.S. society is coming into the Age of Aesthetics: Not only are our coffee shops, airports, restaurants, and malls being designed with an eye for aesthetics, but our electronics, offices, and even our fashions are more aesthetically pleasing than ever. According to Postrel, our increasing love of aesthetics is not merely superficial, but rather it is a reflection of our humanity. Most of all, this increasing appreciation of aesthetics fuels our creativity and even our economic growth.
