Аннотация: People began to study the "economics of art" relatively recently, around the middle of the 20th century. Then it was found that the incomes of art-related organizations were significantly lower than their costs, and this imbalance could only be corrected by charity.
However, it turned out that financially supporting the sphere of art still brings a lot of benefits. For example, the development of cultural organizations in the country increases its investment attractiveness. From now on, art was considered not only as a cultural phenomenon, but also as one of the components of the country's economic system.
