That said, I suppose there are some (plenty of?) people who manage to get money for promising stuff rather than delivering

Just like the market indeed.

Touche, my friend  :lol:

In fact I would go on to say that the very inherent nature of capitalism presupposes the existence of the mecenate, the patronage of arts, spending money on luxury and fine arts by those who can afford it. The miser and the penny pincher is the very antithesis of capitalism.

Or in other words, the amassing of capital is the antithesis of capitalism.  :hmm:

Well, I learned a new word today.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Well yes, that is the "traditional" way. Musician put out an album, people buy a cd or pay to download.

How I understood this patronage concept is you pay people so they can pursue their art without having to market it, sell it etc.

Did I misunderstand? The website is confusing (to me).

Well right. They produce free shit you like and you give them money so they can continue to make free shit. As I said it is like a street performer passing the hat.
