writerlibrarian's review against another edition

3.0

Less stellar than his first work on the subject. He traces the portrait of the contemporary art market after the 2008 crisis but not as well as he did in the previous book and covered the period before 2008.

Quite a few things were repeated from the first book, remixed but at core same facts. It gives a feeling of déjè lu to the work. Still Thompson's style is clear, accessible and over all interesting.

Less engrossing but still interesting.
